Ano ćućipe e lavengo: In the Silence of Words
This exhibition was co-produced by our Community Curators Lila Loisse, Robert Czibi and Marija Enzer as part of our Roma and Sinti Community Curator’s Programme in partnership with the Fortunoff Archives. Alongside archival documents from the Wiener Holocaust Library’s unique collections, this exhibition will explore the role language played in the persecution of the Roma community.
Eldercide: Older Jews and the Holocaust
This exhibition explores the choices and humanity of older Jews in the face of persecution, flight and survival. Through rare photographs, personal stories and objects, the exhibition challenges our perceptions of age, vulnerability and agency, offering a vital new lens on the Holocaust.
