SUMMARY:Talking Memory Book Launch ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’: Representations and Meanings in Art
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY 17 NOVEMBER 21:00 \nJoin us for a special event marking the launch of Arbeit Macht Frei\, the final book in Dr. Batya Brutin’s trilogy on Holocaust icons in visual art. \nThe programme opens with remarks from Yigal Cohen\, CEO of Ghetto Fighters’ House. Prof. Shelley Hornstein will then explore how visual art—through sculptures\, photographs\, and paintings—helps preserve Holocaust history\, sharing insights from her work on The Evidence Room\, an exhibition using Auschwitz archives to challenge perceptions of reality through art. \nDr. Batya Brutin will then discuss her journey in writing the trilogy and examine how both Jewish and non-Jewish artists employ Holocaust symbols\, such as the raised hands of the Warsaw Ghetto boy\, Auschwitz serial numbers\, and “Arbeit Macht Frei” gate signs\, to convey messages on social and political issues. She will explore how these powerful images continue to shape historical memory through art. \nThis programme is held in partnership with Remember the Women Institute\, Women in the Holocaust International Study Centre\, Moreshet Holocaust and Study Centre\, Classrooms Without Borders\, Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University\, and the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre. \nRegistration is essential here
