nearly 7,000 Jewish children who were deported and murdered during the Holocaust.
Using the words from the plaques, she has created moving and evocative works of art
that have been shown on both sides of the Atlantic. Winters will discuss the evolution of
the project and present a power-point slide show of many of her paintings. No charge
to attend.
