Children’s Artwork from the Holocaust

Please join us for an enlightening presentation given by Kent State Professor Emerita, Carol Salus. Her lecture will focus on a collection of artwork created by children who endured the horrors of the Holocaust. Through examining these scenes from the lives of children, illustrated in the face of great adversity, we bear witness to a most tragic period in history, while honoring and preserving the stories of those who lived it.

Professor Salus’ areas of expertise include the history of European and American twentieth century art and Holocaust studies. She has published a vast collection of academic works including her book, Picasso and Celestina: The Artist’s Vision of the Procuress. Professor Salus has been twice selected as a participant for university faculty at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum for Advanced Holocaust Studies and has given lectures on the history of the Holocaust in Germany, Israel, and the United States.
