In November, the International School for Holocaust Studies held an
exhibition of children’s art from the Czech Republic. The works displayed
were selected from entries for a high school art and essay competition,
which concluded a Holocaust learning program at the Terezin Memorial. The
program was originated by Holocaust survivor and former inmate of the
Terezin ghetto Hana Greenfield, who also initiated the exhibition in
Israel.
Thousands of young people from over 60 high schools throughout the Czech
Republic participate every year in the Terezin Memorial’s learning
program. This year, over three hundred entries were submitted in the
concluding art and essay competition, and the prize-winning entries were
displayed in the exhibit at Yad Vashem.
The opening ceremony was attended by Ambassador of the Czech Republic in
Israel H.E. Mr. Michael Žantovský, as well as teachers participating in
the Czech educational seminar that was taking place at Yad Vashem. At the
event, School Director Dr. Motti Shalem said: “This exhibition presents
the fruits of educational activities conducted among youth in the Czech
Republic, and is an example of the use of interdisciplinary methods such
as art to educate about the Holocaust.”
