Join us for a meaningful afternoon of remembrance, reflection, and education in recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month .

Mount Sinai Memorial Parks and Mortuaries and the David Labkovski Project present "Documenting History Through Art," a powerful DLP traveling exhibit.

Labkovski’s work reflects 500 years of Jewish life in Vilna, Lithuania, alongside his own story of survival under Stalin’s regime in the Siberian Gulag and his later years in Israel.

The exhibit will be guided by DLP student docents Conner R. (de Toledo High School), Layla N. (Archer School for Girls), Sarah K. (Taft High School), and Maya S. (Cleveland Humanities Magnet), whose perspectives and knowledge bring these works into the present in a meaningful and personal way.

The event will include a special lecture by DLP founder and Labkovski’s great-niece, Leora Raikin, who will share DLP’s unique project-based educational program that brings David Labkovski’s art into American schools and guides students to become docents and educators.

“The DLP has renewed my faith in humanity- this program is inspirational countering antisemitism and hate while creating youth leadership. Through Labkovski’s art, students moved beyond dates and facts — learning instead to analyze emotion, identify themes, and respond creatively to history in deeply personal ways through art and poetry.”

- Layla N., DLP Student Ambassador

For UN Holocaust commemoration, DLP Student Ambassador Layla brought the DLP exhibit "Documenting History through Art” to Archer School. She curated, installed, and guided students through the exhibit.

Students throughout CA are bringing the DLP to their school campus - sign up to join the upcoming winter cohort: https://www.davidlabkovskiproject.org/dlp-programs/student-docent-leadership-training/
