FROM THE USHMM: A Live Program | The Art of Protest

The Art of Protest: Then and Now Live Digital Program

Polish-born artist Arthur Szyk was alarmed by the Nazi threat and used his pen and paper to call public attention to the persecution of Europe’s Jews. He depicted Hitler and the Axis powers as global menaces and drew sympathetic and even heroic portrayals of the victims of their brutality. Request a reminder to join Museum experts for a discussion about the power of art—then and now—to change minds and highlight our shared humanity.
