Mel Alexenberg: Reflections on Holocaust Remembrance Day

  • 0

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. In recognition of this day of remembrance, I have updated my Future Holocaust Memorials blog, www.futureholocaustmemorials.org , to make everyone aware that remembering the Holocaust is not enough. We must all act to prevent a second Holocaust as Iran threatens to wipe Israel off the map while racing ahead creating weapons to carry out the threat.

www.futureholocaustmemorials.org is a work of webart created in the tradition of Picasso’s Guernica extended into our networked times. The Rhizome ArtBase at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York has honored it as an exemplary work of webart by archiving it in its permanent collection.
