Mindy Weisel | Survival of Beauty, Commemorating Yom Hashoah

A Sunday Evening With Painter Mindy Weisel
Guest Speaker

This event will honor Yom Hashoah, the day set aside the world over to honor victims of the Holocaust. Featured are the dedication of the painting "Es Brent" – "It is Burning" in Yiddish, the gift of two TI congregants, followed by a presentation by its artist, Mindy Weisel. She will share with us the how and why her early work, informed by the Holocaust (her parents were survivors), evolved into vibrant paintings celebrating her realization that, even in horrific situations, beauty will survive.

Mindy Weisel was born in1947, one of the first babies born in Bergen Belsen, the concentration-camp turned displaced-persons camp , where her parents met after surviving Auschwitz. She grew up in California and now lives in D.C. "I paint only feelings," she says of three decades of a "painterly" life. Thus, she paints not only what she sees but in how she feels about what she sees. MIndy's paintings are exhibited around the world. She is now working with glass. Visit Mindy's Web Site.
