The Descendants of Seth is Zsolt Demecs’s exhibition of photos taken at such events of the EMIH – Hungarian Jewish Association that were related to children.

The Torah says of Seth’s son, Enos: “He was first to call the name of the Lord upon the earth.”

The burden of the incomprehensible Holocaust has weighed heavily on the survivors and the generations born in its wake. The fathers and mothers of the next generations continued to teach their children the power of the wonderful Name of the Lord that transcends all understanding.

The children in the 12 photos of the exhibition at PaperLab Gallery are part of a generation who, having left the burden of a never-to-be-forgotten Holocaust behind them, can now look into the future.

Invoking the Name of the Lord and giving thanks to Him is the way to the blessings of His love for The Descendants of Seth.
