Israeli Professor Creates Internet Artwork to Respond to Iranian Holocaust Denial Conference

  • 0

I have created an Internet artwork “Future Holocaust Memorials” www.futureholocaustmemorials.org that responds to the Holocaust denial conference in Teheran that links Holocaust denial to Israel denial legitimizing Ahmedinejad’s call to “wipe Israel off the map.” My artwork aims to raise awareness of the grave threat to Israel and the free world posed by Iran ‘s nuclear ambitions.

As a wake up call to today’s indifferent world, I propose designing in advance Holocaust memorials honoring the 6.000,000 Jews in Israel incinerated by an Iranian nuclear bomb.

I also propose redesigning, embellishing, and enlarging existing Holocaust memorials to pay tribute in a single artwork to all the 12,000,000 murdered Jews.

Islamist’s hatred for Jews is so intense that they are will to incinerate millions of Arab men, women, and children living among the Jews in the Land of Israel. Alexenberg plans to collaborate with and Arab artist to create a memorial to these victims of collateral death and destruction.

My proposal for designing “Future Holocaust Memorials” is an artist’s attempt to make the world see that the dangers that face Israel are dangers faced by the whole free world. The world’s indifference to Hitler’s murderous attacks on the Jews encouraged him to attack all of Europe and America. Iran ’s nuclear ambitions and aggression goes beyond incinerating Israel. It is a program of global conquest in the service of a mad ideology.

My past conceptual, environmental, and digital artworks have been seen by millions and are represented in the collections of more than forty museums worldwide. I am author of The Future of Art in a Digital Age (Intellect Books 2006) and was art professor at Columbia University, head of the art department at Pratt Institute, and research fellow at MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies.

Please help me disseminate this Internet artwork widely. Thank you.
