Memories of the Holocaust

Roman Halter, 1974–1977

Imperial War Museum London (IWM London), London

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.
