DESCRIPTION:ART EXHIBITION\n\nTHE CONTEMPORARY JEWISH MUSEUM PRESENTS \nOur Struggle: 
 Responding to Mein Kampf\n	\nIn a new exhibition making its North American 
 debut at the Contemporary Jewish Museum this February, French artist Linda 
 Ellia turns the page on history by inviting 600 people to transform one of 
 the most inflammatory books of the 20th Century -- Hitler’s notorious 
 memoir and manifesto Mein Kampf (My Struggle, in English).\n\nEllia, who is 
 Jewish, unexpectedly stumbled across a French translation of the book in 
 2005 and felt immediately compelled to respond. She spent 3 years 
 distributing the pages of Mein Kampf one by one to individuals from all 
 walks of life – professional artists, youth and ordinary citizens each 
 invited to paint, draw, sculpt, collage, and blacken the page how they 
 wished in response to the one they received. Six hundred pages came back to 
 her and she gathered the results into a collective artwork and book titled 
 Notre Combat (Our Struggle, in English) published in 2007 by Seuil 
 Editions, a leading publisher of art books in France.\n	\nOur Struggle: 
 Responding to Mein Kampf is the first North American exhibition of the 
 hundreds of pages returned to Ellia. In addition to the work on view, the 
 Museum will screen a documentary about Ellia and the project, provide a 
 resource room about Mein Kampf developed in collaboration with the 
 Holocaust Center of Northern California, and create opportunities for 
 visitors to leave their own responses on a collective chalkboard 
 ‘canvas.’\n\nOur Struggle: Responding to Mein Kampf  \nAn exhibition 
 conceived and created by French artist Linda Ellia that features over 600 
 individual artistic responses to Hitler’s notorious memoir and 
 manifesto.\n\nFebruary 11 – June 15, 2010\n\nOpen daily (except
