The Buchenwald Boys in Photography, Art and Poetry
Join us for a panel discussion that delves into the creative legacies of the Buchenwald Boys—Holocaust survivors who turned to photography, visual art, and poetry as tools for survival, expression, and remembrance.
This moving program complements the Buchenwald Boys: 80 Years of Dancing exhibition at the JMA, offering deeper insight into the ways these men told their stories through art.
Photographer Andrew Harris will reflect on his work for the exhibition and the role of poetry in shaping his artistic response. Ron Roth shares the story of his father, Salek Roth, who used drawing and writing to endure the horrors of the Holocaust and document his journey afterward. Marsha Tauber speaks about her uncle, Avraham Cykiert, whose poetry became a testament to survival and a record of resilience. Facilitated by Anita Frayman, this event honours the enduring power of creative expression in the face of unimaginable adversity.
