The Holocaust Through Czech Children's Eyes This exhibition is a
collection of the best work of art from children's art
competitions of the Terezin Memorial's Education Department in
the Czech Republic. Its title points to the fact that these
paintings are really special because the artists are young,
11-17 years old. As you view the particular paintings you find
that despite their youth they know exactly how to choose the
subject to depict accurately the theme of the Holocaust, what
color to use to express certain atmosphere and mood, and how to
make the artwork more interesting. Although they are young, they
try to look at the Holocaust events without averting their eyes.
The paintings of The Holocaust Through Czech Children's Eyes
follow a line, and this line is like a narration to a very sad
story. The story of lost childhood, lost toys, lost mothers and
fathers, lost families, lost freedom, almost all of the
tragedies are described here. Despite all the terror, one can
visualize a small glimmer of hope h
