Published to accompany the 2001 Imperial War Museum exhibition of art produced by victims and survivors of the Holocaust, this powerful work presents graphic works produced in internment, ghettos, transit and concentration camps between 1939 and 1945.The book and exhibition seek to re-establish the legitimacy of these works within the narratives of 20th-century art history and the expanding field of Holocaust studies. Artist and curator Glenn Sujo provides commentary, combining original archival research with extensive use of secondary sources. He discusses representational strategies and artistic intention, and compares the drawings with personal testimonies and works of literature. Images of Conflict The opening section considers the visual sources. Artist-witnesses, trained in Europe's academies and versed in earlier graphic traditions, drew from works by Rembrandt, Goya, Kollwitz and Dix. Succinct comparison of German Expressionist and contemporary sources and the art of National Socialism expose Nazi ideology and the adversarial role of dissident artists and intellectuals. Ghettos and Camps 1939-1945 This section examines the work of professional artists interned in ghettos, deportation and extermination camps from 1939 to 1945. The works reiterate some of the recurrent concerns of artists, such as the destruction of families and communities, the loss and preservation of personal identity, life and death in the ghetto, deportation, victims and aggressors, the death camps and liberation. Artists and Survivors The final section considers the contribution of the generation of survivors. Their conviction in the unique expressive possibilities of graphic media to translate their experience of suffering unites these artists. The survivors emerged from their ordeals to face the incomprehension and indifference of the outside world; this study explores issues of identity and difference as defined by the artists' experience in the immediate postwar years.
