Remembered Light: Destruction and Resurrection
Glass Fragments from World War II
Contemporary glass artists draw inspiration from the war experience and memories of one man to create new windows that include fragments collected by Chaplain McDonald in the ruined churches, chapels, and synagogues of Europe. These windows—universally symbolic of destruction and the resurrection of faith and hope through art—will be permanently installed in the Interfaith Chapel of the Presidio, San Francisco.
