From Peoria Holocaust Memorial Button Project
'Buttons hold things together, an analogy to each individual who helped hold together their family, their community, and their society.
Buttons once opened, left the people vulnerable.
Buttons were a part of all the clothes left behind
Buttons are enduring - they last long after garments have faded and unraveled . Buttons are round and symbolize the cycle of life. ....'
Indeed the button ! ... what a such small , totally unassuming and meaningful detail in the art of fashion ...
