children and their rescuers from around the world.

No MORE from page 52
examples of children's clothing, diaries,
artwork and identification papers —
all part of the dilemmas, dangers and
fears faced by the youngsters.
Associated activities include a pres-
entation by documentary filmmaker
and survivor Pierre Sauvage, a concert
featuring Theodore Bikel, a display by
local artists and special programs pre-
pared for classes of children brought
to the art center.
The exhibit and associated programs,
except for the Bikel concert, are free.
Raising Awareness
"Our emphasis will be on school
groups," says Lincoln, a member of
Temple Beth El in Battle Creek. "We
will have retired teachers serving as
docents, and I believe young people
will be drawn in by seeing what
happened to people their own age."
A workshop for Holocaust educators
was held at the Willard Public Library
in May. It was led by Stephen
Feinberg, head of national outreach
for the Washington museum.
Lincoln, who has lived in the city
for 32 years, became interested in
touring exhibits from the USHMM
while attending the Mandel/Museum
Teacher Fellowship Program at the
facility. After writing a grant proposal
to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, she
was able to bring an exhibition about
Oskar Schindler to Temple Beth El for
six weeks.
The intense response from the pub-
lic led to considerations for additional
exhibits and spurred plans for "Life in
the Shadows," which has been in the
works for longer than a year. Funding
came from the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation, the Battle Creek
Community Foundation, the Marshall
Community Foundation and other
supporters.
Lincoln, a former New Yorker mar-
ried to former Detroiter Gary Lincoln,
drew Bikel into the project by remind-
ing him that he participated in one of
her 1990 classroom activities. Students
had to write to celebrities, and she
corresponded with him.
"We've never had an exhibit like this
at our Art Center, and we're excited to
have the chance to showcase items that
are different for us," says Linda
Holderbaum, acting director. "We
need to call attention to the Holocaust
in important ways."
Three artists — Oran Hesterman,
Laura Seligman and Miriam Brysk —
will display Judaica projects in the
lobby of the Kellogg Foundation while
the main exhibit continues in Battle
Creek. Groups can have access to this
display by calling in advance. The
opening reception for the artists runs
4-6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8.
Hesterman, a program director at
the Kellogg Foundation, came up with
the idea for the sister exhibit and invit-
ed two friends whose work he knew.
"Miriam uses multi-layered photos
to show people who perished in the
Holocaust," Hesterman explains.
"Laura and I have collaborated on
functional pottery for Shabbat and
titled our works 'Celebration of
Renewal.' For example, I have made
challah plates, and she has done fabric
covers to go with them."
Lincoln expects a large turnout for
the exhibit and associated events.
"Our hope is that students and adults
will gain a heightened awareness of a
most tragic period in the history of
humankind," Lincoln says. "We also
want the exhibit to raise awareness of
our responsibility to protect and care
for all those who are targeted by hatred,
discrimination and violence." ❑

Children and the Holocaust" will
