Holocaust studies students in this year’s VAMPY program for gifted teens at Western Kentucky University work on the latest in the class’ Never Again series of murals. The murals depict themes inspired by the Shoah. This year’s painting is based on Roman Polanski’s 2002 movie, The Pianist, and highlights this line: “If we held a moment of silence for every victim of the Holocaust, we would be silent for eleven and half years.” Ron Skillern, who teaches the class, expects to the mural to be exhibited in Louisville after it is completed.
