All three are artists in the disciplines painting, poetry and literature, and experienced political persecution during the dictatorship in Argentina and escaped/emigrated from the so-called Argentine Holocaust only some years ago to USA.

"Family Portrait" was created in 2001 by Agricola de Cologne in the framework of his New Media art project "A Virtual Memorial" www.a-virtual-memorial.org,
and is an ongoing project to be updated from time to time with new aspects, new art works and additional family members.
