Löwenhardts in the Arts: since its inception this family history project has sought the collaboration of artists in visualizing the family past… and future. To date this has resulted in seven works of art by four Dutch visual artists: Emo Verkerk, Gerard Polhuis, Marjolein Rothman and Jasper Hagenaar. Since 2018 I am creating art myself.

Gerard Polhuis: Theresienstadt Memorial, 2011

Columbarium, Theresienstadt
On 30 May 2011 a memorial plaque for ten members of the Löwenhardt family was unveiled in the Theresienstadt Columbarium, Terezin, Czech Republic. All ten had passed through Theresienstadt ghetto on their way to the death camps. The plaque was designed by Amsterdam artist Gerard Polhuis based on a concept by John Löwenhardt. The outlines of the plaque are taken from the matseewa (gravestone) of Pauline Löwenhardt-Lennhoff in the Jewish cemetery of Dortmund-Wambel, Germany. She was the mother of Hugo, Adolf and Siegmund Löwenhardt, grandmother of Ursula and Klara and great-grandmother of Kurt.
