A Tanka About The Word, Jew Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Note:

Each page has 40 columns of 120 lines — 4,800 “Jews.” The font is Minion; the size,5.5 point. The book weighs 7.3 pounds.... Its titleless cover depicts a Jewish prayer shawl, sometimes used to wrap bodies for burial. Mr. Chernofsky said it was Gefen’s choice; he would have preferred solid black, or a yellow star like those the Nazis made Jews wear. - excerpted from Jodi Rudoren's 'Holocaust Told in One Word,6 Million Times' (New York Times, Jan.25)
