Chocolate and Holocaust<br />
Sculpture Tour<br />
Anat Ratzabi is a sculptor and is perhaps<br />
best known for her chocolate sculptures,<br />
including Vermeer’s Girl with the Pearl<br />
Earring, and Rembrandt and van Gogh’s<br />
self-portraits. Her work is sold in the<br />
Rijksmuseum and numerous other locations<br />
throughout the country. But, one of<br />
Anat’s greatest works has nothing to do with<br />
chocolate. It is the massive marble sculpture<br />
that sits on Rabbijn Maarsenplein and<br />
honors the Jews who died in the Holocaust.<br />
Join us for a tour of Anat’s chocolate workshop<br />
and then a guided walk to Rabbijn<br />
Maarsenplein where she will explain the<br />
multi-year process of creating the touching<br />
and important monument, and what each<br />
piece means to the <strong>Dutch</strong> Holocaust experience.<br />
