Sun 5 Jun, 11 am. Tour the new LA Museum of the Holocaust with an overview of the history of the Holocaust through close observation of artifacts and documents. Erich Lichtblau-Leskly's artworks differ from a "typical" Holocaust graphic. Instead of barbed wire, striped uniform, and death scenes, we see ghetto life through the prism of everyday errands and chores, depicted in grotesques and caricatures. In the spring of 1945, Erich Lichtblau-Leskly cut most of his pictures into pieces to protect himself and his wife. Fortunately, his wife hid the fragments, rescuing them for posterity. The Collection includes these fragments as well as re-created watercolors done by the artist in Israel during the 50s and 60s when he changed his name to Eli Leskly.
