When Memory Speaks Summary

When Memory Speaks: The Holocaust in Art by Nelly Toll

Although the Holocaust represents one of the worst atrocities in the history of mankind, it is thought of by many only in terms of statisticsthe brutal slaughter of over 6 million lives. The art of those who suffered under the most unspeakable conditions and the art of those who reflect on the genocide remind us that statistics cannot tell the entire story. This important and diverse collection focuses on the art expression from the inferno, documenting the Holocaust through sketches of camp life drawn surreptitiously by victims on scraps of paper, and through contemporary paintings, sculpture, and personal reflections. From an informative and comprehensive perspective, this book evokes a powerful response to the 20th-century catastrophe.
