Knigin used images of the Nazi era and Holocaust to create an emotional response to the horrors of the time. He records the dehumanization of mankind in a skilful juxtapositioning that takes the images from their mundane context and reorganizes them, granting them a new life. Michael's goal was to indelibly imprint on our souls images that would facilitate remembrance. Michael died last year and his widow Joan Kraisky has continued his legacy by providing the images for this show. Knigin's work is included in over 60 museums and corporate collections.

Collector and curator Dr. Stanley B. Burns, who owns one of the largest Judaica and Holocaust photographic collections showcased some of the well known images of the era. Some of the images related to German oppression of Jews prior to the war, others related directly to the Shoah. Accompanying the images was original documents of the time. Dr. Burns, for the first time, presented from his own series of multimedia art works images of regular Nazi soldiers (non SS) who believed in the Nazi dream and who eagerly and aggressively played their part in the Shoah. These previously unseen and unpublished works will become icons of the era as they dramatically illustrate the extent of everyday abuse of Jews and their communities by the Wehrmacht. Dr. Burns has produced over 50 exhibitions always surprising his audience with new visual experiences.

This

celebrating the fesetival's 45th anniversary! Our festival has grown
from a small street side event to the largest outdoor festival in
Maryland and one of the largest on the East Coast. Well over 250,000
visitors patronize the two day event that offers more than 450 vendors,
four entertainment stages with over 50 acts and numerous national
attractions.
This
event draws patrons from a six state area including Washington, D.C.,
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey
and beyond. Locally, all five major T.V. broadcasting stations cover our
event, advertising it a week before and then having live coverage
during the actual event.
In
addition, we have made arrangements for all 15 local radio stations to
have a presence at the festival in exchange for one week of heavy
promotion during their prime advertising hours. Our three local
newspapers also feature human interest stories relating to the festival
the week prior to the festival.
What
makes our event so unique is that there is truly something here for
everyone. Our aim is to enhance this wonderful Towson tradition by
emphasizing a strengthening of family values and community spirit while
appealing to all ages. Because of that, your marketing "audience" is
quite diversified. From families with small children to senior citizens -
the Towson festival draws them all. And with over 25 colleges within a
25 mile radius of Towson the festival provides relief from those end of
the year "finals." For them, the Towson festival is a "must attend
event."
