A Place at the Table : A Memorial honoring victims of the crime of Domestic Violence Homicide presented by New Hope for Women visits the Library today.

 

A lovely table set for six quietly sits with all seats empty. Each place setting displays the artifacts of specific victims lost to domestic violence. This heart-wrenching memorial has been traveling from place to place, staying only one day at a time to stand evidence that this does happen in our neighborhoods and in our families. It happens to people of all ages, races and genders. Often starting with verbal and emotional issues, it is recurrent and escalates to the physical.

 

The thought provoking  display is in Wiscasset Public Library today. It can be seen in Skidompha Library in Damariscotta on Thursday, October 16. and then can followed up the coast of Maine in Rockland, Camden and Belfast.
