IV. Emotions

Jewish Man and Woman. Jewish Shop in Dębska Wola. Jewish Woman during the Occupation. Death of the Dentist. The Final Path. Corpse Carrier. Gas.

The few works in this room sparked our deepest debates. We looked for gestures of empathy, examples of ethical witnessing.

Artists’ intentions are never singular or knowable. Yet these objects seem to ask us to take the point of view of the victims, to draw near to their fates.

These are rare, exceptional works.
