OVERVIEW
The special exhibition, “Friedl and the Children of Terezin: An Exhibition of Art and Hope,” presents the work of Austrian Friedl Dicker, an exceptional painter and artist, who was imprisoned in Terezin, a “waiting room for hell” for Jews sent to Auschwitz in World War II. She devoted her time and energy at Terezin to secretly teach art to the children interned there, using methods that have become the foundation of art therapy. Her service brought comfort to these children, helping them to express their fears and their defiance and create hope. The exhibition features some 300 items chronicling the life and art of this remarkable woman and her charges, as well as materials pertaining to the Nazi Holocaust.
