Catherine Boyd, Head of Education of the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre (JHGC), finds the exhibition essential for schools, not only in terms of the historical content but also because of how it leads the visitor to critically analyze the photographs and compare them with other available resources.

The exhibition is open to the public in London and Johannesburg, in two different formats. Last October, Seeing Auschwitz opened its doors

On the same week of the 77th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the exhibition “Seeing Auschwitz” opens its doors for the first time in Madrid. The exhibition, created by Musealia and the Auschwitz Birkenau State Museum in partnership with the UN and UNESCO, will be open until 15 July.

Created by a curatorial team led by Holocaust education expert, Paul Salmons, the exhibition challenges us to look beyond the photographers’ intentions to explore what each photograph reveals, not only of the place and time, but of the photographers themselves.
