Behind the series of paintings in the new exhibition "Yet Tazita: Memory of a Home", which is currently on display at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, stands a 97-year-old artist, Avraham Pardo, known fondly as Avra.

These paintings are flashes of experiences from living in a village in Ethiopia and his family's journey, on their way to Israel.
