12. Honoring Survival, And Gifts To a Nation.

Author

Kershner, Isabel

Subjects
*EXHIBITIONS, *ART exhibitions, *HOLOCAUST survivors, *POSTER exhibitions
Abstract

The gray walls of Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial here, have long documented the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis against Europe's Jews. Now, an oddly vibrant exhibition at the memorial is telling a less known story of the renaissance of the survivors in Israel and the extraordinary role they played in shaping the character of the new state. ''My Homeland: Holocaust Survivors in Israel'' opened in late April, in time for the 60th anniversary this week of Israel's founding. Instead of gas chambers and ghettoes, it showcases designer beachwear and boldly colored posters that promoted potent Israeli symbols like the airline El Al. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
