The exhibition presents the longings for Eretz Israel felt by Jews from the rise of the Nazi party to power in Germany, through the outbreak of World War II and the destruction of European Jewry, and until the end of the war and the establishment of the State of Israel. Artworks, artifacts, diaries, letters and testimonies collected over the years at Yad Vashem give expression to the experiences, feelings and yearnings of those who created and bore them, and open a window to their inner world in the shadow of the events.

Europe in the Eyes of Survivors of the Holocaust

Editors: Zeev Mankowitz, David Weinberg, Sharon Kangisser Cohen

 

In what sense was the European heritage responsible for Jewish cultural and intellectual development? How could one describe the events of the Holocaust? Was there a future for Jews in a reconstructed Europe? A group of scholars suggests a more nuanced view by examining the perspectives of ten survivors – philosophers, activists, and memoirists – whose attitudes towards the European past were characterized by conflicting feelings of alienation and attraction.
