December 17 – February 15, 2026
Shared by the Jewish Federation of Eastern Connecticut, this exhibition aims to provide a glimpse into Holocaust art through a selection of artworks from the Yad Vashem Collection. These artworks were created by 20 artists between 1939 and 1945, and represent a living testimony from the Holocaust, as well as a declaration of the indomitable human spirit that refuses to surrender. Created under inhumane conditions in the utmost secrecy, the largely graphical works attest to the power of the human spirit in the face of adversity and death, and to the conflict between the reality of the Holocaust and an imaginary counter-world. This is only a portion of the exhibit from Yad Vashem.
Learn more about the collection and artists on the Yad Vashem website.
Through the generosity and leadership of community members, friends and businesses, the Jewish Federation of Eastern Connecticut leads a powerful response to causes that affect people locally, in Israel, and around the world.

The exhibition is on view in the museum’s Lehman Auditorium on the lower level. The auditorium is a mixed-use space and is used for programs on Wednesday afternoons. Please call ahead if you wish to see the exhibition on a Wednesday.
