This exhibition explores how artists have responded to the Holocaust from the 1940s to the present day.

Drawing on the Museum's collection of Holocaust art, the exhibition takes a chronological approach - from the eyewitness record of war artists, camp inmates and survivors created in the 1940s, to the reflections of Holocaust survivors produced in later decades, to the responses of contemporary artists.

Featured artists include Leslie Cole, Doris Zinkeisen, Roman Halter, Edith Birkin, Paul Ryan and Darren Almond.
