The stories of lovers who survived the Holocaust, and the work of Boltanski, Balka, Landau, Rovner and other contemporary artists as a phenomenon of memorial culture.
The Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center presents the exhibition “(Un) time for love. Stories of the Holocaust survivors. ” The project is based on diaries, memoirs and biographical novels published over the past two decades by former prisoners of concentration camps, Jewish partisans and underground workers, their children, grandchildren, and invited biographers.
The publication of books based on memories of love and resistance during the Holocaust is a modern phenomenon that is associated both with the departure of living witnesses to the tragedy and with the popularity of the “new sincerity” motive in the culture. These stories are intended to remind us that the genocide of the Jews is a tragedy that has many faces and consequences, it is an experience that is equally important to talk about, referring to the everyday experience of the victims.
The “(Not) Time for Love” exhibition selects the theme of love and care during the Holocaust in search of new perspectives for talking about trauma and a new language for representing individual memory.
The project will tell will tell 10 love stories: Inge Katz and Shmuel Berger, Rochelle Train and Jack Soutine, Mani Nagelstein and Meyer Korenblit and other victims of the tragedy who survived the separation, death of children, friends and relatives during the war. The exhibition is filled with memories of weddings and dates in the ghetto, forbidden gifts, mutual care, dreams of home, family and their own land - Palestine. The exhibition brings together the work of famous artists exploring the experience of the Holocaust, and contemporary Israeli art, which is a subjective assessment of the war crimes after the Shoah - acts of genocide, terrorist attacks, torture of prisoners of war.
At the exhibition, you can see the works of French artist Christian Boltansky, Polish sculptor Miroslav Balka, graphics of former prisoners of concentration camps Gabi Neumann, Esther Schönfeld and Ilka Gedo, as well as installations of contemporary Israeli artists Sigalit Landau, Tal Shokhat, Michal Rovner, Rami Athera, Noshi Kashi Agassi and others.
The exhibition “(Not) Time for Love” is an attempt to explore the role of the modern museum in the development of a culture of memory. How to turn collective recall into a spontaneous and sacred act? What role does contemporary art play in affirming the value of the individual experiences of genocide victims? How to transform the Holocaust memorial ritual into empathy?
As part of this project, the Jewish Museum rejects Holocaust photo and newsreels, memory theatrical techniques in an attempt to stimulate deep emotional contact with the recollections of witnesses of the events. The exhibition is dedicated to the 75th International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27).
