Memories of the Holocaust
Roman Halter (born 1927)
Imperial War Museum London
1974-1977
A series of 7 works which fuse the memories of the artist with images from art history and Hebrew text. Halter was a witness to some of the scenes he represents, whilst others, such as the hanging of his brother, are constructed from reports or from his knowledge of events. Many of the works are inspired by works Halter saw during his visits to the National Gallery and their style reflects his work in stained glass design.
