Lest We Forget is a touring collection of twenty-four 3D multimedia works of art with short literary vignettes. Two artists, Sandra A. Brick and Holocaust survivor, Fred M.B. Amram, explore a Jewish youngster’s coming-of-age, first in Holocaust Germany, and then as a refugee in the United States. Brick works in textiles to translate Amram’s stories into visual art. This exhibition teaches about the early days of the Holocaust and about a Jewish refugee family coming to America, absorbing a new language and adapting to a new culture.
