Throughout May, area students visited the Sandler Family Campus to view their artwork displayed in the Cardo.
The exhibit featured pieces from the Holocaust Commission of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s annual Elie Wiesel Writing & Visual Arts Competition. For 29 years, students from around the world have submitted powerful entries inspired by the lessons of the Holocaust and the importance of remembrance, humanity, and hope.
The artwork on display reflected a wide range of emotions and perspectives, with students using different artistic styles and mediums to tell stories, honor survivors, and explore the impact of history through their creative expression.
In addition to celebrating the creativity and talent of the student artists, the exhibit also served as a meaningful reminder of the importance of preserving memory through the arts.
