Abramek Koplowicz was born in Lodz in 1930, and with the Nazi occupation he was transferred with his family to the Lodz ghetto. In the ghetto, he worked as an apprentice in the shoemaker’s department and wrote eight poems describing his experiences and hopes. In 1944 he was sent to Auschwitz and murdered. His poems are considered a rare testament to the human spirit in the face of destruction and were performed at the first opening rally to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day at the United Nations.
David Ben-Gurion saw the Holocaust as a turning point in the history of the Jewish people and linked the Holocaust to the rebirth of the state. After his visit to the DP camps in 1945, he kept in his office ” The Spark” in the Dachau Youth Camp poem, which opened with the words “Our hope is not yet lost.” The original item is displayed in the exhibition alongside a replica for reference.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Abramek ensemble will perform some of its songs, and a discussion will be held on the growth of revival from the fracture, combining music, explanatory remarks, and conversation with the audience about the power of culture and creativity to preserve memory and inspire.
With the participation of Uri Meiselman, Ohad Kosky, Roy Hadas and Ido Kagan
The event will take place at the exhibition building – Lesel 18, Tel Aviv
