Alice Lok Cahana:
From Ashes to the Rainbow
April 5 - May 10, 2009

A survivor of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, Alice Lok Cahana's abstract representations of her experiences are in major museums and collections around the world, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC; Yad Vashem, The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority in Jerusalem, Israel and the Holocaust Museum
Houston. In 2006, Alice Cahana presented a significant piece of artwork to
his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. The painting, "No Names"
hangs today in the Vatican museum as the only piece of Holocaust artwork in
the Vatican's vast collection. Its powerful imagery of a field of numbers
representing the stolen names and identities of the Nazi's victims stands at
the entrance to the Sistine Chapel. Ojm presented selected, multi-media works and paintings in connection with a community-wide commemoration of Yom HaShoah. Additional works were on display at Portland Center Stage.
