4 arbeit macht frei The Holocaust

Opening of the exhibition "My Poland. On Memory and Oblivion "in the Art Museum in the Estonian city of Tartu was marked by a scandal. The matter is that the exposition offers to look at the events in the concentration camp from the point of view of "humor, compensation for injustice, trading history and reviving the experience."

The curator of the controversial exhibition Rael Artel says that the purpose of the exposition is an attempt to find a new language for the Holocaust discussion, noting that this is "a very difficult and painful topic that it is difficult to talk about."

The number of works presented in the Art Museum includes works forbidden for display on the territory of Germany: in particular, the video of Arthur Zhmievsky about the play of several naked people in salsk in a gas chamber.

The scandalous exhibition aroused indignation of a number of public organizations in Estonia. In particular, the protest was expressed by the Jewish community of the Baltic country.
