The museum will host an exhibit opening reception on May 20 at 3 p.m., and at 4 p.m., will screen Kozak’s accompanying documentary, also titled “Survivor:  My Father’s Ghosts,” which chronicles the cinematic journey of the photographer.

In the stark black and white photographs that comprise “Survivor: My Father’s Ghosts,” Kozak retraces Sol Kozak’s footsteps through eight Nazi forced-labor camps in Germany, where he was interned from 1943 to 1945.  Kozak is a native of Los Angeles; her father is Polish and her mother is Guatemalan. From 2013 to 2017, Kozak took multiple trips to Poland to see and photograph Auschwitz-Birkenau, Markstadt, Klettendorf, Dernau, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek, Chelmno, Gross Rosen, Hirschberg, Erdmansdorf and Bad Warmbrunn. She also traveled to the Czech Republic to see Terezin, to Germany to see Sachsenhausen, Stutthof, Dachau, and Buchenwald as well as to Berlin, Munich, Krakow, Warsaw and Wroclaw.

Both the reception and screening are open to the public. Admission is free but an RSVP is required at lamoth.ticketleap.com/survivor.
