VEDEM UNDERGROUND

VEDEM: THE UNDERGROUND MAGAZINE OF THE TEREZIN GHETTO is an art exhibit that deconstructs and reinterprets the literary work of the teenage Jewish creators of the longest-running underground magazine in a Nazi camp. Using a combination of pop-art graphics, archival photographs and cartoons, and the prose and poetry of teenage boy prisoners in Czechoslovakia’s Terezin Ghetto, VEDEM: THE UNDERGROUND MAGAZINE OF THE TEREZIN GHETTO breaks down the 83 weekly issues totaling the 800 pages of Vedem (“In The Lead” in Czech), then reconstructs them in the form of a contemporary magazine.

Cited by the Smithsonian as one of the 10 “Don’t Miss…” new exhibits for Winter 2018.
