Solly's Story

Family oriented exhibit documents the life
of a child survivor of the Holocaust.

ust one year after the Janice
Charach Epstein Gallery fea-
tured a photo and document
exhibit honoring two Japanese
diplomats who helped Jews escape the
Nazis, two independent art patrons are
making arrangements for a similar exhib-
it that offers new insights into the coun-
try served by one of those diplomats.
"Visas for Life: The Stories of
Chiune Sugihara and Dr. Feng Shan
Ho" is being followed by "Light One
Candle: A Child's Diary of the
Holocaust," which will be on view

Ganor from a friend, and Zina Kramer of
Bloomfield Hills, whose parents survived
the same Lithuanian ghetto explored in
the book. They have enlisted the support
of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit, Birmingham Schools, the Anti-
Defamation League, Unique Restaurant
Corp. and the Detroit Jewish News.
"It is our hope that this exhibit will
inspire people to remember the
Holocaust, its victims and its survivors,"
says Saul, instrumental in arranging a
reunion with Ganor and the late
Japanese American Clarence Matsumura,
who rescued him after the war. Saul
became acquainted with Matsumura
through other curator assignments.

Light One Candle: A Survivor's Tale from
Lithuania to Jerusalem, helped organize
the soon-to-be traveling exhibit that
shows in pictures what he documents
about his life before, during and after
the Holocaust. Ganor, who will be in
Michigan for the opening and do
school presentations, worked with inde-
pendent curator Eric Saul, who also
helped put together the exhibit seen last
year at the West Bloomfield gallery.
"Light One Candle" is being brought
to the area under the direction of Carol
Klein of Franklin, who learned about

Above: As a child in prewar Lithuania,
Solly Ganor was acquainted with
Chiune Sugihara, pictured, having invit-
ed the Japanese consul to the family
Chanukah party. "There was humor and
kindness in those eyes, and I immediately
warmed to him," wrote Ganor in his
book, "Light One Candle."

"This exhibit has been designed for
a younger audience," Saul explains.
"Many of the photographs that depict
scenes of Jewish life in the Kaunas
(Kovno) ghetto show young people.
This will be an important opportunity
to reach young people and students."
The exhibit consists of 70 photos
and 10 text panels and draws on sev-
eral collections by photographers of
the times: George Kaddish, who
secretly took hundreds of photos
between 1941 and 1944; Chiune
Sugihara, who was the Japanese con-
sul to Lithuania in 1939 and knew
Ganor; Japanese American soldiers
