Death masks put a face on history

BROOKLINE — It’s an unusual hobby.

Bob Weeks collects death masks — casts of mostly well-known people’s lifeless faces. Now he wants to share them with the world.

Comments

Bob is doing a great service to humanity and of course, to the Holocaust community as well. His museum is also truly something to behold - it is unforgettable. He deserves great support, and thanks to Yvonne for helping to publicize what Bob uniquely does!
