On Nov. 19 at noon, the SSU Intercultural Center presents Ann Weinstock who will speak on her life experiences as a Holocaust survivor. In addition, Ms. Evvy Eisen, a Bay Area photographer, will speak about her photo exhibit Legacy: Portraits of Holocaust Survivors which will be on display in the Intercultural Center. Several Holocaust survivors will be on hand and will talk about their lives as they relate to the exhibit.
The photo exhibit is on display through the month of November in SSU's Intercultural Center. It includes 25 photographs of Bay Area survivors combined with autobiographical text describing their experiences during the Nazi era. Portraits of individual survivors, couples, and family groups were made in and around each survivor's home.
Legacy is a continuing photographic project founded and directed by Ms. Eisen in 1992. She has completed more than 80 portraits and intends to continue her work both in California and Europe. All photographs and autobiographies have been accepted into the permanent collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, the Simon Weisenthal Center in Los Angeles, and the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine in Paris, France. The portraits were first shown at Judah L. Magnes Museum in 1995.
The public is invited to attend the Nov. 19 presentation. Parking on campus is $1.50 (quarters). Lot G is recommended.
