In addition to the ceramic shoes, images of the piles of shoes, clothing, hair, glasses and suitcases found in the warehouses of Auschwitz at liberation represent the absence of the millions of people who perished in the Holocaust. Meticulously researched and rendered in clay, Stolzenberg’s shoes return a sense of identity to the victims of the Holocaust by rescuing the shoes from their anonymity in the piles at Auschwitz. The exhibit highlights the use of contemporary ceramics to address social justice issues and to explore the desire of second-generation artists to interpret the Holocaust and work through the traumatic history of their own survivor parents. Stolzenberg’s piece titled,“Forgive But Do Not Forget,” forms the centrepiece of this exhibit. Her work has been widely exhibited in Great Britain and Europe, but had not previously been shown in North America.
