This year's calendar is based on an upcoming exhibition, to be displayed in the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) during 2025. All artworks are from Yad Vashem Art Collection and have been created in ghettos and in camps, in forests and in hiding, by men, women and children persecuted by the German Nazis.

The artwork shed light on the experiences of the artist and their subjects during the harshest of circumstances, while providing a window into their thoughts and feelings. 

Calendar 2024 – 2025  A Living Memory

This year's calendar is based on an upcoming exhibition scheduled to open at Yad Vashem in 2025. The exhibition will display 400 rare items from Yad Vashem's extensive collections, now housed on the new Moshal Shoah Legacy Campus in the Fela and David Shapell Family Collections Center.  The exhibition addresses the challenge of how to create a living memory of the Holocaust for future generations, and invites visitors to explore the treasures of Yad Vashem's artifacts, art and archival collections.  The behind-the-scenes work carried out in the fields of collection, preservation and research, and the efforts that are invested in giving a face and a name to anonymous artifacts will also be highlighted.  The exhibition thus offers an opportunity to reflect upon the importance of Holocaust remembrance in our times, and our collective responsibility to bear the torch of remembrance for the sake of future generations.
