Darkness into Life: Alabama Holocaust Survivors through Photography and Art

The Birmingham Holocaust Education Committee is proud to present Darkness into Life: Alabama Holocaust Survivors through Photography and Art. The collection will be on display at the Hardin Center March 5 through April 21, 2009.

In this sensitive assembly of photography by Becky Seitel and art by Mitzi J. Levin, viewers are provided intimate glimpses into the private memories of twenty Alabama Holocaust survivors. Seitel and Levin spent hours visiting each survivor and listening to their stories. The survivors began with their memories of life before occupation and imprisonment. Their stories continue with their lives in Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Mobile and Opelika.

Both artists provide bold, thought-provoking and moving paintings and photographs with text explaining the personal stories behind each piece. Survivor biographies and maps provide an additional historical dimension to the exhibit.
