Waldsee-1944

On View:

July 19 – August 19, 2005

Reception:

Tuesday, July 19, 2005, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
 


An exhibition in memory of the annihilation of Hungarian Jewry during the summer of 1944, when Jews deported to their deaths at Auschwitz were required to write deceptive postcards from the nonexistent “Waldsee” to their families, reassuring them that all was well.

Seventy international artists have created their own visual symbolism, in the form of the postcard, to commemorate the Holocaust in Hungary.
