“Children’s Home” by Helga Weissova
The Museum of Jewish Heritage highlights works from its collection made during and immediately after the Holocaust in Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hungary, and Poland. Much of this art was created in secret, with artists facing punishments as harsh as death if they were caught. Some of the artworks are tiny, reflecting their hidden origins. Other drawings were folded and hidden underneath a mattress or beneath one’s prisoner uniform. Peer into history through the eyes of these artists by exploring the exhibition in person or virtually.
