One of his first major sculptures , a 6-foot-tall piece which he called '' Shoah '' , was constructed of wrought iron meant to remind the viewer of concentration camp gates , glass intended to recall Kristallnacht , a rotating " searchlight , " rocks and wood . Rosembaum 's Shoah is now on permanent display at the Virginia Holocaust Museum . In an interview , Rosembaum said that he had seen a wide range of reactions to this specific sculpture , " from the little ones trying to climb inside to the tears of the elderly . " Rosembaum produced his first one-man art show at the Valentine Museum in 1997 . His work had received awards from art shows as far from Virginia as Pennsylvania and Michigan
