- Share via
Some Jewish leaders and Nazi death camp survivors denounced an exhibition of Holocaust-related artwork opening this weekend at New York’s Jewish Museum as “obscene” and “a desecration.”
The exhibition, “Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery/Recent Art,” includes items such as an artist’s self-portrait with a Diet Coke inserted into a photo of emaciated Jews at a death camp and depiction of a concentration camp on the cover of a children’s Lego building set.
Museum curators defended the exhibition as thought-provoking.
