Two families' Holocaust experiences
12:00 AM CDT on Friday, May 9, 2008
When Dallas-area artists Julie Meetal and Veronique Jonas met in Israel three years ago, they realized that they were pursuing the same artistic goal: to evoke and illustrate their families' experiences as Holocaust survivors. The two have banded together to present an exhibit at the Dallas Holocaust Museum. Ms. Meetal's ghostly paintings deal with her parents' grim experiences, and a gravestone-related installation is a memorial proposal for the Treblinka death camp in Poland. Ms. Jonas' more realistic paintings depict the Jewish district on the Greek island of Rhodes, which her parents (but not her extended family) had left before the Nazis occupied it in 1944.
