Remembering Through Art: The creation of a “Mind-room” where the Past meets the Present …
Before 1941, Berditschew was the centre of Jewish culture in the Ukraine. Twenty thousnd Jews lived in the town when the German troops began their occupation.
When the town was liberated in 1944, fifteen Jews were still alive.
At a remote, unused airport runway, thousands of them were shot.
Between 2007 and 2009 the research team visited Berditschew regularly searching for information regarding the horrific events which had taken place.
The exhibition is not about the factual re-telling of events but rather seeks to engage the visitor on an emotional level through the combined use of photographs, moving pictures and sound.
