Art in the Holocaust

Art in the Holocaust Exhibit

The exhibition Art in the Holocaust is designed to promote dialogue about the Holocaust. The exhibition provides a glimpse into art created during the Holocaust in ghettos, camps, forests, and while in hiding. The artworks reflect the tension between the artists’ need to document the terrible events they endured and their desire to break free through art and escape into the realms of beauty, imagination, and faith. These artwork panels, from Yad Vashem’s Art Collection, stand as testimony to the strength of the human spirit that refuses to surrender. There are 21 panels, and each is 24’ X 36”.

This exhibit is only available through Lee Holder at the Gizella Gross Abramson Resource Center for Holocaust and Civil Rights Education.
