"There has been no period in recorded history when witnesses left such a vast number of visual documents about their experiences of terror as did the artists incarcerated in the concentration and death camps of Europe. They refuse to allow the truth to be buried in that abyss of the untold.

Out of that Schlachtfeld—the vast slaughter field of Europe—and out of the ashes of the camps have arisen, like an indestructible Phoenix, and enormous number of art works."
—Mary Costanza
