All of the pieces were produced by participants in the Hyogo-NOMA Children's Art Therapy Initiative, which has offered art therapy sessions at schools throughout the New Orleans area and at free day camps at the Museum. "The works express sincere emotions about the children's experiences with Hurricane Katrina," said Holly Wherry, the professional art therapist who has been on staff at NOMA since 2007 and who coordinated the sessions that led to this exhibition. "You see how they are coping three years after the storm, and you see their immense pride in New Orleans. All of the participating children have given permission for their art to be exhibited publicly in order to communicate their experiences and educate the public about art therapy.

World War II Museum Presents - Special Exhibition - Lives Remembered: Photographs of a Small Town
September 25, 2008 - January 11, 2009 |
Add to Itinerary |
Location: The National WWII Museum, 945 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA
Phone: 877-813-3329 x 270
Lives Remembered: Photographs of a Town in Poland 1897-1939 illustrates Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust through reproductions of more than 100 photographs of the small town of Szczuczyn, Poland. This special exhibition is on loan from the Holocaust Museum Houston. These photographs capture the ordinary lives of the residents during the years leading up to the Nazi invasion. These photographs were taken by Zalman Kaplan in Szczuczyn, where he established a business as the local photographer.Kaplan’s grandson, Michael Marvins, spent years collecting photographs by his grandfather from the descendants of the families that lived in Szczuczyn. The photographs reveal another side of the small Polish town contrary to the often associated images of Orthodox Jews. They show a rich and diverse way of life that was not so different from our own today. This exhibit puts faces on the millions of men, women and children who perished in the Holocaust. The photographs are of ordinary people leading common lives. The exhibit shows what can happen to everyday people when hate and intolerance are allowed to flourish. This glimpse into life before the war shows the people of Szczuczyn as similar to many around the world - enjoying life, advancements in technology and living free of labels or hate. Upon close examination, one must wonder, were their lives so different from our own? The exhibit contains over 100 prints of photographs taken by Zalman Kaplan who was a professional photographer in Szczuczyn, Poland. The Jewish community of Szczuczyn was wiped out by the Holocaust. The images were collected from survivors by Kaplan’s grandson Michael Marvins.
