My Story: Early Memories of the Holocaust in the Works of Eyewitness Artists

The Hungarian National Gallery commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust with a graphic art exhibition in cooperation with the Hungarian Jewish Museum and Archives. The exhibition on the terrible events of eight decades ago will therefore focus on artists who themselves were victims of this catastrophe. The exhibition will present one-off and reproductive prints and albums that record everyday life in the ghettos, the concentrations camps and the forced labour camps in a narrative, figurative, or sometimes graphic-novel-like format.
