Yad Vashem; in Jerusalem; is the global center for Holocaust education; remembrance; research and documentation. The book pays tribute to the fortitude of the human spirit. The shown 100 drawings and paintings; a representative core of Yad Vashem's art collection were created in the camps; the ghettos; in hiding and by partisans. These rare artworks by some 50 artists; half of whom were murdered; reflect the tension between the cruel reality the artists experienced and their desire to take flight. Presented thematically; and supported by substantial research on the annals of the artists; the artworks shed light on the artists' experience under the harshest of circumstances.
