"Portraits of Zinkov" on view at Hebrew College through Sept 30, 2011
The Portraits of Zinkov art exhibit at Hebrew College includes the
artist's recreation of the people of this Ukrainian shtetl. Photographs
that appeared in the Zinkover Memorial Book published in 1966 served as
the models of a series of haunting portraits of the ill-fated citizens of
Zinkov, a village in Ukraine totally annihilated by the Nazis. The artist,
whose grandparents lived in that community, has undertaken this effort to
memorialize the people of Zinkov and, through them, all of the lost
shtetls of Europe. For more information, see
