Workshops on the Holocaust and its victims, and their commemoration through the Stolpersteine
Next-generation commemoration of the Holocaust through art – and by young artists
Kibbutz Cabri, Israel, April 9, 2017
Sponsored by Munich’s Petra-Kelly-Stiftung and Stuttgart’s Leibinger-Stiftung, this project’s culminating workshop was staged in April, 2018 at the Gottesman Etching Center in Kibbutz Cabri.
Facilitated and organized by Terry Swartzberg, this workshop had the following parts:
Presentation by Gunter Demnig of his Stolpersteine project. There are more than 70,000 of these “stumbling blocks”. Found in 1,600 cities in 24 countries, Each commemorates a victim of the Holocaust, and each is placed in front of the building in which she or he lived prior to being dragged off to a death camp.
Testimony by survivors of the Holocaust. First-hand reports of their persecution and suffering. Very moving.
This presentation and this testimony in turn inspired the kibbutz’s students of the fine arts to take the visual identity and contents of the Stolpersteine and to render them in images meaningful to today’s world. The result: stunning works of art and commemoration.
