“When I grow up and reach the age of 20, I’ll set out to see the enchanting world… I’ll fly, sail, hover… Skyward shall I ascend and blossom” [Avraham Koplowicz, aged 13, Lodz Ghetto, 1943. Avraham was murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944]
This exhibit focuses on aspects of the doomed Jewish children’s narratives that can augment and enhance the efforts of present-day audiences to grapple with the meaning of the Holocaust.
Children’s youthful testimonies and accounts generally reflect limited awareness or comprehension of the impending and unavoidable catastrophe, but they also contain moving, often eloquent, expressions of vibrant imagination, vital sensitivity and keen intuition. Strikingly,
some Jewish children were even able to experience hope and articulate faith in the future.
