Legacy of Absence Gallery

The Legacy of Absence Gallery focuses on the feelings of sadness and loss that continue in the shadow of the Holocaust and other modern genocides, including Cambodia, Rwanda and the Soviet Gulag.

Through various artistic perspectives, these six galleries will help visitors gain an understanding of the impact of the Holocaust, genocide and human rights abuses on the individual and the various ways they express these feelings. The gallery features photographs, works of contemporary art, and multimedia displays from world-renowned artists such as Samuel Bak, Betye Saar and Jozef Szajna, among many others.
