Mary Burkett is an ordinary person called to extraordinary circumstances. She is a wife, mother and grandmother. Having had no artistic training, in January 2017, she began to create a living memorial to precious children killed in the Holocaust. In seven short months, Beloved: Children of the Holocaust, a collection of 27 beautiful portraits, was complete.

Mary’s work continues to honor the lives of children forgotten by time and history. Her work has been described as “An inspired initiative with a precise purpose: that mankind knows the atrocities of the historical past and never repeats them.”

We invite you to join us for a special event, organized in collaboration with Mary Burkett to view Mary’s newest collection called In the Land of Wooden Shoes. This event is the first time Mary’s work will be exhibited and fully narrated in a museum.

We sincerely hope you can join us.
