Pieces of the past: CANDLES Holocaust Museum

I've been working on an exhibit for CANDLES Holocaust Museum. There's still a lot to be done, but we're currently at the stage where we're pulling together info and images to create display panels. I'm quite struck by what an honor it is to work with personal treasures! Pictured above are Eva Mozes Kor and her twin sister Miriam, both of whom as children were part of experiments in Auschwitz under the direction of Dr. Josef Mengele. She only has a few pictures of her family, but the photos she does have are beautiful snapshots of her loved ones.

Eva is Founding Director of CANDLES, and she's an inspiration to work with. I can't wait to see how the exhibit shapes up.
