Documenting Holocaust History Through Art

The David Labkovski Project advances knowledge of the Holocaust through the art of David Labkovski utilizing his history, paintings and sketches, the project emphasizes tolerance, acceptance and the importance of bearing witness to history.

Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is an annual day to remember the victims of the Holocaust. Commemoration ceremonies take place across the globe in churches, synagogues, and community centers.
This year, the David Labkovski Project coordinated a community “virtual” commemoration.
