‘Holocaust and the Arts’ programs begin in March

          Five community programs on “The Holocaust and the Arts” will be held in March-May.

          The series is presented in collaboration with the Nathan & Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center.

          Jodi Elowitz will give a keynote presentation on Wednesday, March 11, 7 p.m., at the JCC, 6255 N. Santa Monica Blvd. She will give an overview of the various types of art produced in the camps and ghettos; and will provide background on the artists who created these works.
