Artists of the Holocaust – A Collection of Short Films
Wednesday, February 12 at 4pm
MainStage – Scales Fine Arts Center
In collaboration with Yad Vashem Museum in Israel, Wake Forest students produced short films on select artists of the Holocaust. These films tell the stories of men and women who created art under the most extraordinary and horrific circumstances, including those who were partisans and fought against the Nazis and others who were prisoners in concentration and slave-labor camps.
The screening is sponsored by The Humanities Institute at Wake Forest, The Documentary Film Program and IPLACe.
