The Exhibit Content:
The exhibition entitled “The Auschwitz experience in the art of prisoners” presents the fate of the victims of the largest German concentration and extermination camp KL Auschwitz, presented through the works of those who survived. Terrible living conditions, worrisome starvation and continuous tiredness due to exhausting, long-lasting work were the inherent elements of camp existence, accompanied by beating and constant humiliation. In their works, the former prisoners – artists – decided to make an attempt at presentation of this hell on earth prepared by the German Nazis. (From the Auschwitz Museum website)
