Description
Auschwitz Not Long Ago. Not Far Away. This catalogue from the first-ever traveling exhibition about Auschwitz concentration camp tells a powerful story that demands attention and reflection. Over 280 objects and images from around the world are presented, including personal belongings, family snapshots, and even an actual surviving barrack from one of the camps. These artifacts eloquently convey the tragic history of Auschwitz, from its origins as a Polish town to its dark centre during the Holocaust. The accompanying text provides a comprehensive history of the camp, weaving together the stories behind these artefacts into a compelling narrative. This authoritative yet accessible volume is an important contribution to our understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
