New York, NY -
Forum Gallery presents a group exhibition of American social realism featuring paintings, drawings, and sculpture dating from the first half of the Twentieth Century to today. Artists working in the years between the world wars and well known for their contributions are shown side by side with contemporary American Artists whose work continues the humanist legacy of social realism.
American social realism took shape in the 1920s in the centers of commerce also home to artistic communities, like New York and Chicago. The cultural shift in the United States seen in the art of the social realists bridges the high modernist ideals of Europe and the struggle and very human drama evoked by the Great Depression and the political upheavals of the 1920s and 30s.

The Holocaust and American Public Memory, 1945-1960
San Diego State University
Abstract: Until the 1960s, many scholars assert, most Americans
awareness of the Holocaust was based upon vague, trivial, or inaccurate
representations. Yet the extermination of the Jews was remembered in
significant ways, this article posits, through World War II accounts,
the Nuremberg trials, philosophical works, comparisons with Soviet
totalitarianism, Christian and Jewish theological reflections, pioneering
scholarly publications, and mass-media portrayals. These early postwar
attempts to comprehend the Jewish tragedy within prevailing cultural
paradigms provided the foundation for subsequent understandings of
that event.
