Art in the Holocaust Exhibition

The School of Modern Languages and Cultures cordially invites you to a special exhibition “Art in the Holocaust", providing a glimpse into artworks 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 artworks, from Yad Vashem’s Art Collection, stand as testimony to the strength of the human spirit that refuses to surrender.

Date: November 22 to December 20, 2023

Opening hours: Monday–Saturday 9:00am–9:00pm Venue: 5/F., Run Run Shaw Tower, Centennial Campus, HKU

Free admission. All are welcome.

This special project is organized in the collaboration with the Hong Kong Holocaust & Tolerance Centre and in cooperation with Yad Vashem.
