Susan Weinberg: The Silence Speaks Loudly and A Hole in Time

Susan Weinberg’s work deals with the dilemma of how we address the history of the Holocaust as the survivor population dwindles: Who tells the story? What is the story that is told? How do we tell it?

Her artistic exploration of Jewish family, cultural and community narratives has taken her into the countries of Eastern Europe where she encountered very different responses to Holocaust history. She seeks to tell the story of the Holocaust and former Jewish communities through her artwork, joining the visual medium and story telling.
