Portraits of Survival by David Radler

The Institute for Holocaust Education proudly presents Portraits of Survival, an exhibit of 36 black and white photographs that tell the stories of our local Holocuast survivors. It honors those who survived horrific and life-changing experiences before finding their way to Omaha to rebuild their lives after the war. The exhibit is an opportunity for community members to bear witness to the memories of those who survived the atrocities of the Holocaust. The exhibit, created by David Radler for the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, will be exhibited in the Jewish Community Center Gallery through November 24th.

The public is invited to attend a special event on Sunday, November 10th from 1-4 p.m.

Artists Giving Back – Speaker Suzanne Horwich

November 10 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Staenberg Omaha JCC Eisenberg Art Gallery  |  Staenberg Kooper Fellman Campus

Join us on Sunday, November 10th, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. in the Staenberg Omaha JCC Eisenberg Art Gallery for an afternoon filled with creativity, connection, and compassion. Light refreshments will be served as we come together to support and uplift one another through the universal language of art. Incredible artwork from refugees from around the world will be on display for the November 10th event only. This event will not only highlight their artistic talents but also emphasize the healing impact that art can have on individuals and communities. During this special reception guests will learn more about the  Artists Giving Back organization led by founder Suzanne Horwich.  Artists Giving Back works with worldwide refugee populations to address the secondary needs of refugees that are often overlooked in crisis situations. The organization was created to meet emotional and creative needs, to return dignity, and to build community. Artists Giving Back now partners with worldwide organizations who work to meet the primary needs (food, shelter and medicine) of refugees. Together these organizations instill hope. Through art programming and exhibits, Artists Giving Back provides refugee populations with something to work towards, a sense of pride, and a sense of accomplishment.

 

The Institute for Holocaust Education works to ensure that the tragedy and history of the Holocaust are remembered, that appropriate, fact-based instruction and materials are available to students, educators, and the public to enable them to learn the lessons of the Holocaust and that, as a result, we inspire our community to create a more just and equitable society.
