Twenty years ago, Burton D. Reckles discovered the old nautical art of building ships in bottles. His scratch-built miniatures are a world apart from the traditional kit models sold in stores, requiring many hours of research aimed at creating a meticulous art piece. In “Antisemitism: Exodus to the Holocaust,” Reckles uses his craft to make both political and educational statements, depicting acts of antisemitism dating from biblical times to our own. Using his truly unique medium, each of Reckles’ creations tells its own story of historical and personal antisemitic experiences.
