"The Holocaust Project: From Darkness into Light" is the vision of the world-renowned artist Judy Chicago, who, in collaboration with her husband, photographer Donald Woodman, and a selected number of skilled artisans spent eight years on a project structured as a journey into the darkness of the Holocaust and out into the light of hope.

For "Rainbow Shabbat, the artist's used the Jewish ideal of Sabbath, in which they project a vision of a world joined in peace whereby peoples, nations, and cultures are all seated in joint fellowship.
