The Art of Never Forgetting:
Portraits of Survival

As the number of Holocaust survivors able to share their stories firsthand continues to decline, preserving their testimonies has never been more vital. Artists across a range of disciplines are finding powerful and creative ways to ensure these voices are not lost to history. As part of the PaleyImpact ongoing series, Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism, this compelling panel will bring together members of the artistic community, Holocaust survivors, and experts to examine how art can serve as a critical tool in educating future generations about the Holocaust and the enduring dangers of hatred and intolerance. The discussion will highlight a variety of artistic approaches, including Gillian Laub’s live2tell, David Kassan’s Facing Survival, and Bryce Thompson’s Borrowed Spotlight, which are all projects dedicated to capturing survivor testimonies and humanizing history through intimate visual storytelling.

This event is made possible by generous support from The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.
