Golden鈥檚 exhibit, "Being There," consists of eighty black and white photographs, sixty of which will be shown at 茄子视频. Golden, who was born in Chicago in 1931, states, 鈥淚 was too young to participate in the Second World War yet old enough to be permanently influenced by it and the Holocaust.鈥� In 1999, Golden went to 鈥淎uschwitz by way of Krakow鈥� and spent a week there recording impressions with his camera. Golden calls this exhibit 鈥渕y personal confrontation with the past.鈥�

Youner鈥檚 installation "A Letter to Debbie" tackles the topic of the Holocaust through the experience of the late Lieutenant Al Gaynes, who in a letter written to his wife Debbie in 1945, describes the atrocities which he discovered upon liberating Landsberg Concentration Camp, one of 11 satellite camps of Dachau. Debbie Gaynes will accompany Youner to the conference. Youner and Debbie Gaynes met by chance and began their two year collaboration and deep friendship as Youner made the letter the subject of her artwork. Youner states, 鈥淚 wanted this message to be assertive and strong, but at the same time to be a subtle way of looking at the naked truth.鈥�

Both Golden and Youner will participate in a special artist's talk in Lynch Hall Auditorium from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m, followed by a reception in Harlan Gallery from 8:30 - 10 p.m., on Monday, November 6, as a featured part of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education's 7th Holocaust Education Conference. Both the artist's talk and reception are free and open to the public.
