This exhibition shows works that give people an idea of some of the things that were happening after World War II and the Holocaust had come to an end. The Holocaust was a time when Hitler, the leader of Germany, attempted to exterminate all Jewish people from the Earth. He started with the people in his own country and forced them into concentration camps where they were brutally tortured and most didn't survive. This exhibition also represents a remembrance and memorial to those who died and to those who had to endure such tortures.
