tems created by Jennifer Perlove
Siegel, a graduate student in archi-
tecture and design at the
University of Michigan, allow the
images to dangle on the gallery
walls.
"The way they are displayed has
allusions to something that's kind
of cold and hard and confining, so
that the frame around the image is
more than just a way of holding it
to the wall. It's an expression or a
continuation of the image," Siegel
said.
"I think the images give a sense
of the individual lives that were
shattered during the Holocaust,
but they also do an excellent job of
universalizing the experience and
making it applicable to all the Jews
who perished or suffered," she
added. "And the images also speak
to the ongoing pain and emotional
wounds the survivors live with."
The two met at a JCC exercise
class and collaborated on this dis-
play that will connect the genera-
tions and ensure stories like Brysk's
aren't forgotten.
"I think by creating these images
Miriam is sharing with us a piece
of her soul and also the Jewish will
to survive," Siegel said.
Brysk, who just completed writ-
ing a book, My Shattered
Childhood, said that as a child sur-
vivor and a member of the last
generation of survivors, she and
others in the Detroit area want to
leave something behind to educate
generations to come.
"We're really dedicated to
remembering and to teaching, to
document in any way we can what
happened during the Holocaust,"
she said.
Ann Arbor resident Greg
Napoleon said he found the collec-
tion moving, raw and evocative.
"They capture the immediacy of
reality and then they distort it a
little so you get that sense of picto-
rial representation enhanced artis-
tically," he said. "So you have both
what you'd get from a simple pho-
tograph and the depth of feeling
the artist brings to it." ❑
