On the night of October 1, 1943, the Jews of Denmark were to be
rounded up and sent to concentration camps in Europe, but the news
leaked to the Danish population. Ordinary citizens all over the country
offered refuge in churches, attics, homes, and hospitals. After a month,
95%
of the Jewish population of Denmark had been transported to safety
in Sweden in secret boat transports. The depiction of the arrangement of
these stars is as they were on October 1, 1943 if you were in Copenhagen,
Denmark, looking north toward Sweden.

“
All cartographers and all map users, with rare exceptions,
were men, and maps were of the unfamiliar, made for sailors
and explorers for conquest or trade. My map is made by a
woman and shows a woman explorer. It depicts the familiar
(
my home, lower Manhattan) and it depicts it ‘by feel;’ streets
are not named, and the drawing isn’t precise. The photographs,
taken roughly where they are located on the map, depict inci-
dental, particular, everyday things: a reliquary for a dead bird
at Tompkins Square Park; three Dominican men outside a
funeral home; a colorful, hand-painted dragon boat that was
moored in the Hudson for awhile; a cat sitting on my front
steps. The things of which the world is really made.”
colors represent the borders as they have evolved, much like the
wrinkles we develop with age.
