"Silent Voices Speak — Remembering the Holocaust" represents one artist's effort to put a human face on a devastating event in the history of our times — the Holocaust. The mixed-media works in this exhibition are based on black-and-white documentary photographs taken in Europe between 1933 and 1945. The haunting, horrific scenes depicted cannot be disputed, even though deniers of the Holocaust have tried. The photographs were obtained from the archives of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

Saul Balagura is an abstract expressionist committed to the remembrance of the Holocaust. Through his dramatic paintings and evocative poetry, he draws viewers into an atmosphere charged with emotion. Balagura has said of his work: “Victims must have memories; but only when those who were not victims remember, will the eternal flame keep warm the hearts of generations to come.” The hurricane of sprawling colors in Balagura’s paintings and drawings are at once commemorative and educational.
