This illustrated lecture will examine the extraordinary number and variety of artworks produced against all the odds by victims of the Nazi Holocaust. In so doing, it will address the motives for making images in the most inauspicious of circumstances, the broader context of their making and the ethical dilemmas faced by cultural historians in assessing these images’ status as testimony and/or aesthetic objects. The insights they provide into the relationship between trauma and creativity, and between work of art and historical document remain of crucial importance.
