MUSIC
Over the 70 years which followed the Shoah (Holocaust), numerous music scores of all styles have been found which were created in the Nazi concentration and death camps. These are testimonies of how talent, art, emotion, and beauty can triumph over evil.
VISUAL ARTS
During the Shoah (Holocaust), Jews produced art in concentration camps, in ghettos, or while in hiding. Unlike artistic production undertaken by outsiders in the name of propaganda, or to confirm the events after the killing had ended, art created by victims under Nazi domination may be viewed as a form of documentation, witnessing, and spiritual resistance that plays a very important historical role as evidence from the victim's perspective.
LITERATURE: An example of readings - Salvaged Pages, by Alexandra Zapruder
This stirring is a collection of diaries written by young people, aged twelve to twenty-two years, during the Holocaust. Some of the writers were refugees, others were in hiding or passing as non-Jews. Some were imprisoned in ghettos, and nearly all perished before liberation. This seminal National Jewish Book Award winner preserves the impressions, emotions, and eyewitness reportage of young people whose accounts of daily events and often unexpected thoughts, ideas, and feelings serve to deepen and complicate our understanding of life during the Holocaust.
