The Jewish Museum of Maryland is proud to announce their collaboration with The Human Element Project holding a series of workshops with Holocaust survivors and the families of survivors to create a visual story
through the art of collage. These powerful collages will be used to create an exhibition entitled, Holocaust Memory Reconstruction: A Sacred Culture Rebuilt. This display will be part of the
Remembering Auschwitz: History, Holocaust, Humanity project opening at the Museum in Spring 2017.
“It was as a great experience to work together with my brothers on the collages to honor the lives of our mother & father, two survivors of the Holocaust. The centre was a buzz with guides, volunteers, staff & families reminiscing about the past & working together on this terrific project.” “Thank you for the opportunity to take part in this fabulous project. Going through my parents photos, documents, letters and memorabilia over the last few days with my mother, Sara, opened up so much more precious dialogue of her pre war life in Poland, her painful but inspirational survival story and the resilience of her post war experience of immigration and establishing a family which now spans four generations. The collages concisely tell this story.”
“What a great experience, emotional of course, but this and other projects as such will allow generations to come to learn our history, and not allow us to forget. This is a tribute to our heritage. The staff and volunteers were fantastic thank you.”
“Thank you for your inspirational idea to create a mural of precious memories, you have created a pathway to healing survivors pain by validating their traumatic experience and at the same time allowing family members to show their love and respect”.
