Michael Morris is acuratorwith New York’s Museum of JewishHeritage. He was trying to fulfill a common request when he uncovered a number of artworks. They were images of the Holocaust, by people who were there. Using those works, Morris put together a show of art. Many are by some of the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis in the 1930s and 1940s. The show is against and educates about the dangers of anti-Semitism, racism,bigotryof any kind, said Morris. He added, We see hundreds of thousands of people in concentration camps. These are actual people who hadmulti-facetedlives. Among them was 12-year-old Helga Weissova. She brought art supplies with her when she was sent to Terezin concentration camp, north of Prague, in October 1944. Before she was forced to go to Auschwitz, another prisoner gave the drawings to her uncle. He hid them behind a wall. Auschwitz was theinfamousNazi concentration camp in southern Poland. Her 1943 work in colored pencil on paper is called Transport Leaving Terezin. It shows guards with guns watching a group of prisoners carrying their few belongings. Weissova is now in her 90s and living in Prague.
