Simon Winston was born in 1938 in Radzivilov, which is now in Ukraine but was then part of Poland. He was too young to remember much of what happened to his family, but his father wrote his testimony in 1948. When the Germans came to Radzivilov in 1941 Winston's family were imprisoned in a ghetto for two years. They managed to escape and for the next 18 months were in hiding in a bunker near a pigsty and in the cellar of a barn.

Simon was a hidden child. The sculpture depicts Simon and his brother Joseph.
