Chana and Max Koploviz, Holocaust survivors.
Zipora learned the art of paper cutting from her late father in law,
Ya'akov Ne'eman who started to create paper cuts at the age of 70.
Ya'akov's work has been acquired by many collectors and museums including the Jewish Museum in N.Y.,
The Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C., The Skirball Museum in L.A., The Wolfson Museum in Jerusalem etc.
