LIVE2TELL: THE SHOAH MEMORIAL ACCOMPANIES PHOTOGRAPHER GILLIAN LAUB IN HER SURVIVOR PORTRAIT PROJECT
Memorial de la Shoah
During that session in November, 62 Holocaust survivors agreed to be photographed at the Shoah Memorial and also to take part in poignant and in-depth interviews about the questions they ask themselves today and the hopes they hold for younger generations.
Among them were six survivors of the camps and ghettos: Larissa Cain, Esther Senot, Ginette Kolinka, Evelyn Askolovitch, Frania Haverland, and Arlette Woland. The Shoah Memorial was fully mobilized in support of this project, thanks to the dedicated work of its documentation staff, as well as the commitment of the volunteers, interns, and temporary staff present that day.
The Shoah Memorial extends its sincere thanks to the Claims Conference, Dr. Ruth Kinet, and Cornelia Levy, as well as to the associations Passerelles and UDA, for their valuable support and the trust shown throughout this collaboration. It also expresses its gratitude to Gillian Laub and Kira Pollack for choosing the Memorial as a place of remembrance, encounter, and transmission for this international project.
Live2Tell is an international project dedicated to meeting survivors around the world, led by Gillian Laub, an internationally renowned American photographer, and her producer, Kira Pollack. These portraits are soon to be exhibited in Paris, Berlin, Miami, and New York.
On Tuesday, 14 April, world-renowned American photographer Gillian Laub returned to the Shoah Memorial. As part of the Live2Tell project, she presented prints of the portraits taken on 12 November last year to the Holocaust survivors featured in them.
