Book of Remembrance Holocaust Photo Restoration Project By Stewart Cherlin
November 11, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The Book of Remembrance Holocaust Photo Restoration Project by Chicago-based photographer and artist Stewart Cherlin was started October 2020 through May 2021.
The images are primarily of ordinary extraordinary men, women, and children who were victims of the Holocaust, a few recognizable individuals are also included. The source material is from the Yad Vashem online photo database. Yad Vashem approved the use of the images for the project. The project includes 320 images. Each image is respectfully restored removing scratches, spots, tears, blotches, faded areas, tape, staples, and general surface deterioration of the original images.
Cherlin will be part of a lunch and learn on Thursday, November 11 at Noon at www.facebook.com/theFHM.
The Book of Remembrance in its current form is approximately a 1:45 hour slideshow presentation. Viewers are encouraged to watch all or part of the presentation and return to it periodically.
