Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide centre. The exhibition included self-portraits, diaries, charcoal drawings, charcoal stop-motion- animation, watercolour tapestries and a sulptural piece. This work all examined Mendel’s relationship and work on his personal German Jewish family history and archive.

It is a space imbued with huge significance. It is where my great grandmother mother received news of my great grandfather’s death in the First World War, and from where my great grandmother was deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp in 1942. The house was destroyed by allied bombing in 1945.&nbsp; There are hundreds of letters in our archive addressed to this house.&nbsp; <img width="5760" height="3240" width_o="5760" height_o="3240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/34bec4e66fe6b8f9d9ba77938455a7a9c74806ddb4b2b2010accb755117ad2bb/FFstr_animation_243.jpg" data-mid="147313126" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/34bec4e66fe6b8f9d9ba77938455a7a9c74806ddb4b2b2010accb755117ad2bb/FFstr_animation_243.jpg" /> <img width="2100" height="1476" width_o="2100" height_o="1476" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7747777ea9ce1f20bc23c49c1bdc34e908181642cc68192e62dac8347032e10/Mendel_Elias_2.jpg" data-mid="147305704" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7747777ea9ce1f20bc23c49c1bdc34e908181642cc68192e62dac8347032e10/Mendel_Elias_2.jpg" /><img width="8256" height="6192" width_o="8256" height_o="6192" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a1d4a7c42f4110b01500b61a32d64678aa2cace2ec4b3d1b33de69087f97b314/DSCF0080.JPG" data-mid="169583212" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a1d4a7c42f4110b01500b61a32d64678aa2cace2ec4b3d1b33de69087f97b314/DSCF0080.JPG" /> <img width="2100" height="1572" width_o="2100" height_o="1572" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4dc842559cd65a7740db09b7657ac67bb6c3e7c34f1afc2036ba9506f1ef7329/Mendel_Elias_3.jpg" data-mid="147306205" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4dc842559cd65a7740db09b7657ac67bb6c3e7c34f1afc2036ba9506f1ef7329/Mendel_Elias_3.jpg" /><img width="8256" height="6192" width_o="8256" height_o="6192" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0cc1e92b4ed6e6efecfb63d647e5c4415408ae9e7113bc99d21855063a199b0/DSCF0079.JPG" data-mid="169583214" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0cc1e92b4ed6e6efecfb63d647e5c4415408ae9e7113bc99d21855063a199b0/DSCF0079.JPG" /> https://eliasmendel.cargo.site/The-Angel-of-the-archive Thu, 07 Jul 2022 10:49:25 +0000 Elias Mendel https://eliasmendel.cargo.site/The-Angel-of-the-archive Angels in the Archive&nbsp; "The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead and make whole what has been smashed" Walter Benjamin&nbsp; Work utilising legacy of terrestrial Angels as a way of looking back at my family history.&nbsp; Inspired by the writings of Walter Benjamin in the Angel of History, Rainer Maria Rilker’s Duino Elergies and WimoWenders Wings of Desire.

In the weeks before his death in the trenches my great-grandfather wrote: “My dear ones, we are still living in holes in the ground, but they are so comfortable that we could not ask for anything better. I wish you could see how idyllic it is here. Your eyes, ears and nose would be surprised. Warm regards to you all.” These are just a few of the words across this expansive archive. Through my own contemporary lens I can give new life to this collection. I take seriously the responsibility to use my art to bring this story to wider attention and build memorials that will continue to resonate. https://eliasmendel.cargo.site/Memorial-in-memoriam Tue, 06

Jul 2022 10:49:28 +0000 Elias Mendel https://eliasmendel.cargo.site/Sachsenhausen-Notebook Sachsenhausen Notebook&nbsp; These drawings were an instinctive emotional response to what I felt during my week in October 2021 exploring my family history at Sachsenhausen memorial. During Kristallnacht on the 9th of November 1938 my great grandfather Bruno Schwartz was arrested and placed into Sachesenhausen Concentration, he was lucky enough to be released two weeks later, many others, family members included were not so lucky... Sketches, thoughts and abstract feelings.&nbsp; <img width="7205" height="5240" width_o="7205" height_o="5240"
