SELECTION III
Work in Progress
Selection III, like Selection I and II, focuses on the innocent people who were murdered during the Holocaust because they were Jewish. The work is an avowal of remembrance, but also a reminder that antisemitism did not cease when World War II ended.
Today, antisemitism is proliferating everywhere from Europe to the United States, from the Middle East to Latin America, and Jewish people are still being killed because of their religion. On closer examination of the artwork, there are names, histories and photographs of some of those lost in the 20th and the 21st century.
On 7th October 2023, over 1,200 innocent Jewish people were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists in Israel. Babies, children, pregnant women, the sick, the elderly and Holocaust survivors were not spared in this ruthless attack. Many others are being held hostage in Gaza.
