Through slides of relevant examples, we will explore how art was intertwined with the Holocaust, both as a tool of the Nazi regime and as a form of resistance and remembrance by the victims. Key topics will include:

• The important role of propaganda, degenerate art, and looted art in the Nazi regime.
• Artwork created by inmates of concentration camps and ghetto.
• Memorials and artwork created after WWII that explore the trauma of the Holocaust.
• The challenges of returning confiscated art to its original owners.

Please bring your lunch. Drinks and dessert will be provided.
