DOCUMENTARY

This commemorative and educational photography exhibition features both living and deceased Holocaust survivors with a connection to Calgary. The exhibition sheds light on each of the survivors’ Shoah (Hebrew word for the Holocaust) experiences, while also providing a glimpse into their lives lived post-war. 

Here to Tell: Faces of Holocaust Survivors is comprised of 39 portraits of living survivors and 122 images of deceased survivors, held up in the hands of their descendants. Each photograph is accompanied by a brief personal account of the survivor’s Holocaust experience and life after the war. To impart and reinforce the important lessons about the Holocaust, this project consists of three components on view at Glenbow at the Edison: the photography exhibition; a 30-minute documentary; an 18-panel Yad Vashem Holocaust display; and behind-the-scenes documentary photographs. A publication documenting the project is also available for purchase.

The above is the trailer for the 30 minute documentary.
