Living On Holocaust Exhibit

April 6, 2008 on 11:37 pm | In General, This and That |

Living On, is an exhibit that opened March 13th at the Living OnMuseum. The exhibit is very thought-provoking, relating Holocaust experiences through testimony of Survivors and those who helped rescue and liberate Jews during WWII.

The exhibit, “Living On“, also includes large-sized black and white photographs of each person whose testimony is included in the exhibit, plus a short biography of where they were born, and how they were involved in the Holocaust, etc. Robert Heller is the photographer involved in the exhibit.

I specifically went to see the “Living On” exhibit. Mira Ryczke Kimmelman, the author of “Life Beyond the Holocaust“, whose book I reviewed, was one of the people whose testimony and photograph was included in “Living On“. I came away with an extreme lump in my throat, and with more to ponder, after reading the testimonies and viewing the photographs of those involved in the exhibit.

“Living On” was first exhibited in 2004, at the Frist Center in Nashville, was at the East Tennessee State University Museum, before coming to Cookeville.

“Living On” is a visiting exhibit, and is presented by the Tennessee Holocaust Commission. It is an intensely moving and profound Holocaust exhibit, and will run until the end of May.
