Portraits of Zinkov Art Exhibit

The Portraits of Zinkov art exhibit at Hebrew College includes the artist's recreation of the people of this Ukrainian shtetl. Photographs that appeared in the Zinkover Memorial Book published in 1966 served as the models of a series of haunting portraits of the ill-fated citizens of Zinkov, a village in Ukraine totally annihilated by the Nazis. The artist, whose grandparents lived in that community, has undertaken this effort to memorialize the people of Zinkov and, through them, all of the lost shtetls of Europe.
