About This Exhibition
Ruth Sylmor’s PIXEL-6 photographs portray 14 youthful faces of Shoah children stenciled on mailboxes in the Paris Marais quarter by French street art portraitist, C215. The faces, chosen in collaboration with activist, Serge Klarsfeld, from his collection of photographs of children deported in 1941-44 by cattle car to Auschwitz death camp, were among the over 500 children in le Marais quarter alone, never to return.
Sylmor juxtaposes the faces of the child victims with a series of candid images of non-restricted Parisian life today where people are free to gather and play, reflect and remember the chilling history of the Holocaust – that it not be forgotten nor repeated.
