Zachor Holocaust Center
will open May 5 at AJCC
Lola Lansky, a Holocaust survivor, shows Concentration Camp
uniform.
I he Zachor H olocaust Center of
the Atlanta Jewish Federation, which
will open to the public on Monday,
May 5, is the fulfillment of a dream
long held by the Atlanta Jewish
community. Its realization is lar
gely due to the cooperative spirit
which exists between Hemshech
Organization of Survivors from
Nazism; Children of Holocaust Sur
vivors; and the Federation.
The permanent exhibit is lo
cated on the lower level of the
Atlanta Jewish Community Cen
ter Peachtree facility. The display
is a chronological history of the
Holocaust, beginning with scenes
from Jev/ish life before the war,
depicted through personal photo
graphs of survivors. The Nazi rise
to power is documented through
violent actions including Kristall-
nacht and roundups ol Jews. The
Ghetto experience, life in the Con
centration Camps, and the Final
Solution mark the years of the war.
At the end of the exhibit is the Hall
of Survivors, a celebration of the
survival of individuals who now
make their homes in Atlanta.
Unique highlights of the Zachor
Center include a facsimile of a
Ghetto Wall, a Czechoslavakian
“Westminster Torah," personal mem
orabilia salvaged from Europe and
documentation of resistance efforts.
An area within the exhibit has been
reserved for rotating exhibits.
“In My Lifetime,” a series of
etchings relating to the Holocaust
by Dr. David Crown, will be on
display for several weeks, on loan
from the artist. Dr. Crown pursued
his artistic interests while practic
ing internal medicine. While his
work covers a wide range of sub
jects, he has chosen to express his
understanding of the events which
took place during World War II
through this series of etchings. Dr.
Crown was born in London, Eng
land, in 1924, and lived there until
1948 when he moved to the United
States. In 1982, he left the medical
field to devote all of his time to his
artistic endeavors.
The creation of the Zachor Holo
caust Center was made possible by
the hard work and dedication of a
number of individuals. The design
of the physical space and perman
ent exhibit of the Zachor Center
was created by Benjamin Hirsch
and Associates, Architects and
Planners. Renovation of the area
was implemented by Metro Devel
opment Corporation. Judy Merlin
has been responsible for planning
and coordinating the physical ex
hibit and Saba Silverman is respon
sible for staffing the facility. Elliott
Cohen is chairman of the Zachor
Steering Committee.
