In conversation with Dr. Carol Salus, art historian, we will mark Yom HaShoah through different visual responses from a variety of artists such as Chagall, the photographer Shimon Attie and his images of residents of a religious neighborhood in Berlin on the cusp of the Holocaust superimposed over modern images of the same sites today. Other tributes to the atrocities are wall-size sculptures by Louise Nevelson, architectural sculptures by Frank Stella, and Audrey Flack’s image of hope and devastation. Lastly, we will look briefly at Salvador Dali's Holocaust imagery.
