“Exhibitions like Forbidden Art bring to light the stories of fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, and brothers and sisters who endured the unthinkable cruelty of concentration camps.” - Barack Obama

In 2011, the Forbidden Art exhibition was created and shown in Poland to showcase a series of rare examples of art created by prisoners at Auschwitz. The exhibition is part of a nationwide awareness campaign to protect the Auschwitz site through conservation and education.
