"Last Portrait: Painting for Posterity", curated by Ms. Eliad Moreh-Rosenberg, presents almost two-hundred portraits from Yad Vashem’s art collection, drawn by twenty-one artists of varied origins and backgrounds who labored to preserve images of their friends and loved ones for posterity. The depictions were undertaken in ghettos, concentration camps and during slave labor and testify to the tremendous creative drive that moved these artists to diligently draw entire series of portraits in the most severe of circumstances. Most artists "focus on faces" explains Moreh-Rosenberg, with almost no hint to the dark clouds of death lingering above, in an endeavor to immortalize the subjects with dignity, not as victims, "by reproducing each individual’s facial features, the artists gave him back his soul - the very quality the Nazis sought to eliminate".
