The tragedy of the Holocaust has never been portrayed more forcefully than in the series of 45 unforgettable wall hangings by internationally-renowned artist Judith Weinshall Liberman. With consummate skill, profound emotion and a remarkable depth of understanding, Liberman creates a world of fear, loss, hope and redemption in works of fabric—works that raise questions demanding reflection and self-exploration by all who view them.
Accompanying the wall hangings is a selection of portraits from 50 Faces, a photographic documentary by acclaimed Cleveland photographer Herbert Ascherman, Jr. that captures faces and stories of Northeast Ohio Holocaust survivors, POWs and concentration camp liberators.
Made possible through the loan of the Holocaust Wall Hangings from the collection of The Temple Museum of Religious Art at The Temple-Tifereth Israel and 50 Faces from the collection of the Western Reserve Historical Society.
