Funding Ad

This ad ran this last weekend in the Jewish Journal. If you can, we could use any donation for this project that you can give. Call the US-Ukraine Foundation at 202-223-2228 and tell John Kun that it is expressly for this project. I can't do a project this ambitious by myself. Thanks. On the next post, I'll tell you the story of the holocaust survivor who called me....

The 15ft Base- half actually

I had some guys build this who were special effects builders and they did a fabulous job! What you see here is one quarter of the base on the floor and the other sitting upright. Imagine them both down and sitting side by side. This will be the beginning of the first half.
Now all I need is clay and time!

The beginning of the Requiem Blog

Requiem, the sculptural monument to honor those lost in the ravine Babyn Yar has been given life! We are now partnered with the US-Ukraine Foundation and have begun the process of fund-raising to bring this monument, and a whole accompanying exhibition, to the public. This monument will become the center of what will be an exhibition donated to travel to Jewish History Museums and any other interested venues across the country. You can go to the website to read about the project.
Seth Weingarten has generously donated 10K to start the project.
If you'd like to help, we could certainly use your support.
Donations are tax-deductible through the US-Ukraine Foundation at 202-223-2228. Please specify that the money is to go to the Babyn Yar Sculptural Project. All sizes of donations are accepted.
Keep posted to this blog to see the progress of this massive undertaking.

Peace,
The Babyn Yar Sculptural Project
