This catalog is based on approximately 200 portraits from the Yad Vashem Art Museum collection, which were painted by 21 artists, commemorating their fellow men and women in the ghettos and camps. The catalog includes biographical details of the artists and portrait subjects, as well as three articles illuminating the exhibition theme from different perspectives. For about a quarter of the artists, the works presented in the exhibition are not only the last portraits of their subjects but also the final testimony of their artistry.
