Jewish In wartime: Remnants of individual worlds
This exhibit speaks for stolen worlds, faces that very well could be any of ours. Footsteps that we've so long gone over, heel clicks muffled by the progression of time. These were daily lives, everything they'd ever come to know and love - imagine it all gone - consumed by the faces all the while walking beside you, passing faces in the streets, the grocer, a childhood friend perhaps - under the propagandist possession driven to blindly bring about your death by their support of a once sought insignificant faction. With you is gone your entire individuality. The dehumanization and consumption of a world by another's within our own. For the faces of this exhibit reality was just that. And all too real it was. Featured here are many photographs, faces of the people that time consumed. Along with them, the remnants of their stolen lives - Eye glasses taken from the faces of those massive columns arriving at the camps ,a little 12k Gold mezuzah necklace long left unworn, somehow escaping the massive meltings of stolen valuables, a book - in Hebrew from Poland that managed to escape the burnings upon massive pyres, a prayer shawl long un-warmed by shoulders and male and female Kippahs (religious head coverings) - symbols of the stolen individuality of the dehumanized. Remnants of individual world's consumed within thier own.
