The Concentration Camp Exhibition features artwork that I discovered during the course of my doctoral research, made in a concentration camp in Transnistria during the Holocaust. Some of the works were displayed immediately after the war in an eponymous exhibition long since forgotten by time and the politics of memory. This is the first attempt to recreate that 1945 exhibition and also present other drawings and artefacts made in the camp by the Jewish detainees. Also shown will be the first documentary about the camp, Vapniarka: Camp of Death
