From Ohavi Zedek Synagogue:

Janie Cohen, past Director of UVM’s Fleming Museum, will present a slide talk on the work of four artists who experienced the Holocaust, and the ways it impacted their work. Included are Anselm Kiefer and Christian Boltanski, both born late in WWII; Henryk Ross, who clandestinely photographed life in the Lodz ghetto while serving as the Jewish Council’s official photographer; and Hannelore Baron, a New York artist who witnessed Kristallnacht as a child and escaped Germany with her family.
