Letters from my Grandparents: Extended through May 31 THE ART OF RUTH SCHREIBER
Exhibit can be viewed Tuesday – Saturday from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm info@annefrank.com
Artist Ruth Schreiber ‘s exhibit, Letters from My Grandparents, will stay on view at the ANNE FRANK CENTER USA, 44 Park Place, New York, NY 10007 owing to overwhelming attendance and interest! Her art work tells the remarkable story of the discovery of a box of letters written by her grandparents between January 1939 and August 1942, to the three of their five children whom they had managed to send to England on the Kindertransport from Germany at the height of the Nazi persecution of the Jews. Ruth Schreiber’s grandparents were among the many Jews in Europe who made the brutal decision to send their children to safety in England during Hitler’s rise. In this powerful mixed media exhibit, Schreiber tells their remarkable story through a series of artworks based on the letters they wrote to their children while abroad. Moving, illuminating, and deeply meaningful, Letters from My Grandparents will forever change how you think about sacrifice, trauma, and the bonds that can never be broken.
