Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination.</p> <h2 class="border-bottom tab">Human Rights are Universal</h2> <p class="intropanel" style="padding-bottom: 15px;">The principle of universality of human rights is the cornerstone of international human rights law. This principle, as first emphasized in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, has been reiterated in numerous international human rights conventions, declarations, and resolutions. The 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights noted that “All human rights are universal, indivisible and <em>interdependent</em> and <em>interrelated</em>.”</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6"> <h2 class="border-bottom tab">The United Nations and Human Rights</h2> <p class="intropanel" style="padding-bottom: 15px;">The promotion and protection of human rights - civil, cultural, economic, political and social - is a key purpose and guiding principle of the United Nations, which has helped develop a comprehensive body of human rights law and established mechanisms to promote and protect these rights and to assist states in carrying out their responsibilities.</p> <blockquote>"The climate crisis is the biggest threat to our survival as a species and is already threatening human rights around the world."</blockquote> <p style="float: right">- AntĂłnio Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations</p> <h2 class="border-bottom tab" style="padding-top: 35px;">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</h2> <p class="intropanel" style="padding-bottom: 15px;">The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and has been translated into over 500 languages.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="judges" class="tab-pane fade"> <div class="panel panel-default nb"> <div class="panel-body" style="background-color: #fff"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8"> <h2 class="border-bottom tab">About <em>Photography 4 Humanity</em></h2> <p class="intropanel" style="padding-bottom: 15px;"><em>Photography 4 Humanity</em> and global collaborator Ăć±±œû”ŰHuman Rights call on photographers around the world to bring to life the power of human rights.

For seven decades, Yad Vashem has dedicated itself to perpetuating the memory of the Jewish men, women and children who were murdered by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, and to passing on the legacy of the survivors. Its state-of-the-art museums, world-class research and education centers, and expansive archives and libraries provide an unparalleled venue for inter-generational learning and contemplation, reflected also in its comprehensive online resources utilized by millions of people around the globe.</p> <p class="intropanel" style="padding-bottom: 15px;">Drawing on the memories of the past, Yad Vashem seeks to meaningfully impart the legacy of the Shoah for generations to come. Yad Vashem’s Art Collection comprises close to 14,000 works of art, half of which were created during the Holocaust. These provide a unique perspective based on the individual’s experience. Each of these works is, in essence, an irreplaceable personal testimony of human existence during the Holocaust.</p> <h2 class="border-bottom tab">Museum Center for Persecuted Arts</h2> <p class="intropanel" style="padding-bottom: 15px;">The Museum Center for Persecuted Arts is devoted exclusively to the persecuted arts of the twentieth century up to the present day. Its collection and exhibitions focus on works from the fields of the visual arts, literature, music and theater, particularly those created by individuals persecuted by the Nazi regime. Through its multidisciplinary exhibitions, the Center for Persecuted Arts fills a gap in the museum landscape by drawing attention to the diverse expressions of overt resistance or defiance by artists and writers in authoritarian regimes, thus addressing an important self-empowerment independent of the art canon and the art market. Through artistic articulations, the museum demonstrates how the existential and life-threatening experiences of flight, expulsion, persecution and exile can be described and overcome, then and now. The museum’s inaugural exhibition, <em>Der Tod hat nicht das letzte Wort</em> (Death Does Not Have the Last Word) in the Bundestag in Berlin in 2015 programmatically demonstrated the museum’s orientation: emphasis on the continued importance of remembrance and survivors’ commitment to the representation and analysis of the Holocaust.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade in active" id="exhibit"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-3" style="padding-right: 0"> <img alt="" class="img-responsive shdw" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/11/yehuda-bacon-woman-with-child_new_0.jpg"> <p class="caption wht" style="padding: 3px; background-color: #353535; font-size: 0.7em">Yehuda Bacon, <em>Woman with child at the barbed wire fence of a concentration camp</em></p> </div> <div class="col-sm-3"> <img alt="" class="img-responsive shdw" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/10/yehuda-bacon-before-the-transport-to-terezin.jpg"> <p class="caption wht" style="padding: 3px; background-color: #353535; font-size: 0.7em">Yehuda Bacon, <em>Before the Transport to TerezĂ­n, 1945</em></p> <img alt="" class="img-responsive shdw" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/10/yehuda-bacon-aquarell.jpg" style="padding-top: 12px;"> <p class="caption wht" style="padding: 3px; background-color: #353535; font-size: 0.7em">Yehuda Bacon</p> </div> <!-- RIGHT PANEL --> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6"> <div class="panel panel-default" style="-webkit-box-shadow: none; border: none"> <p class="intropanel" style="font-weight: bold; padding-top: 0;">This exhibition highlights the importance of art for Holocaust remembrance today. It presents three generations of artists whose lives were impacted by the Holocaust, and whose art was shaped by this experience.</p> <p class="intropanel">Organized chronologically in seven sections, the exhibition revolves around artist and witness <em><strong><a href="#yehuda">Yehuda Bacon</a></strong></em> (b. 1929). The display begins with German Jewish artists such as <strong><em>Ludwig Meidner</em></strong> and <strong><em><a href="#felix">Felix Nussbaum</a></em></strong>, who responded to the November Pogrom of 1938 in their painting, foreseeing the destruction of European Jewry, and continues with artworks from the TerezĂ­n ghetto. Included are <em><strong>Karel Fleischmann</strong></em> (1897–1944), who gave Yehuda Bacon his first drawing lessons in the ghetto, and painter, poet and art teacher <em><strong><a href="#peter">Peter Kien</a></strong></em> (1919–1944). Other prisoners such as Friedl Dicker-Brandeis also taught the boys and girls in TerezĂ­n. The work of <em><strong><a href="#boris">Boris Lurie</a></strong></em> (1924-2008) is displayed as are works created after 1945 by other artists, who like Bacon, were the only survivors of their families.</p> <p class="intropanel">The main section focuses on Yehuda Bacon, from the drawings created immediately after his liberation recording his experiences in Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp (1940-1945), to the paintings reflecting his own mature style. In addition to his artistic career, Bacon kept his oath to testify to the world about the crimes of the Holocaust and served as a witness at the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem in 1961 and at the Auschwitz trials in Frankfurt am Main in 1964.</p> <p class="intropanel">In parallel, Bacon taught art for 35 years at the Bezalel art academy, initiating a generation of young artists into the secrets of draftsmanship and printing techniques. <em><strong><a href="#sigalit">Sigalit Landau</a></strong></em> was one of these young artists. The exhibition thus ends with this internationally-acclaimed Israeli artist, daughter of a Holocaust survivor, who refers to the Holocaust with a personal, yet universal approach. Ultimately, the artistic thread connecting teachers to their students echoes the transmission of memory from the Holocaust victims and survivors to the following generations, emphasizing the power of visual testimony in the commitment to Holocaust remembrance and our responsibility to educate about its relevance.</p> <p class="intropanel">This exhibition forms part of the 2023 programme of Holocaust remembrance and education organized by <a href="/en/holocaustremembrance">The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme</a>. Member States of the United Nations established The Holocaust and the Ăć±±œû”ŰOutreach Programme (<a href="https://daccess-ods.un.org/access.nsf/Get?OpenAgent&DS=A/RES/60/7&Lang=E">General Assembly resolution 60/7</a>). The Outreach Programme is an expression of the commitment of the Ăć±±œû”Űto fighting hatred, and to contribute to building a world in which all can live in peace and with dignity.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row" style="margin-top: 20px"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6"> <h2 class="border-bottom tab">The Holocaust (Shoah)</h2> <p class="intropanel">The Holocaust (Shoah) was the anti-Jewish campaign initiated and implemented by Nazi Germany during the years 1933-1945. Its culmination was an unprecedented and systematic genocide that aimed to totally eradicate Judaism and annihilate the Jewish people.</p> <p class="intropanel">The campaign’s primary motivation was an antisemitic, racist ideology, which asserted that the Jews were a danger to Germany and to humankind as a whole. According to this ideology, the Jews were parasites who exploited non-Jewish peoples and disseminated ideas about human equality perceived as undermining the natural and ostensibly appropriate hierarchy between the so-called “races”.</p> <p class="intropanel">From 1933 onwards, Nazi Germany implemented anti-Jewish policies: initially, they defined who were Jews, stripped them of most of their rights, their professional status and their property, and acted to isolate them socially. During the Second World War, anti-Jewish measures escalated, both in Germany and in occupied and Germany-allied Europe, and included banishment from the general population by marking, segregating or concentrating Jewish people in ghettos, forced labour, starvation and more. These actions gained support in Germany and other countries, and led to the Jews’ removal from civil, social and economic life in their countries of residence.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6" style="padding-top: 40px;"> <p class="intropanel">The systematic murder of Jews began in the summer of 1941 with the invasion of the Soviet Union, and Nazi policy gradually developed into a comprehensive genocide termed “The Final Solution to the Jewish Question”. By the end of the war, nearly six million Jews had been murdered.</p> <p class="intropanel">In addition to the policy to annihilate all Jews, the Nazis targeted others. Germans with disabilities were the first victims of organized murder; several million Soviet POWs (Prisoners of War) died through brutal treatment or were murdered; homosexual men and political dissenters were frequently interned in camps, where many died; the Poles were oppressed by their German occupiers and in particular Polish elites were imprisoned in camps or murdered outright; many Germans of African descent were subjected to sterilization; and the Sinti and Roma were subjected to genocide.</p> </div> </div> <div class="row" style="margin-top: 20px"> <div class="panel panel-default nb shdw"> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-4" style="background-color: #5D6C76"> <a id="felix"></a> <h3 style="text-align: center">Felix Nussbaum</h3> <h4 class="titleitalic">The November Pogrom 1938</h4> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8"> <p class="intropanelwht" style="padding-bottom: 15px">Born in OsnabrĂŒck in 1904, Felix Nussbaum studied art in Hamburg in 1922 and a year later continued his studies at the Lewin-Funcke School in Berlin, where he enrolled in the class of Ludwig Meidner. Following the Nazis‘ rise to power, he wandered through Europe and in 1935 sought refuge in Belgium for himself and his partner, the artist Felka Platek. Initially, the couple lived in Ostend; two years later, they moved to Brussels. Following the German occupation of Belgium in May 1940, Nussbaum was arrested and interned in the Saint-Cyprien camp in southern France. Several months later, he escaped and returned to Brussels, where he went into hiding with his wife. He created dozens of artworks reflecting the anguish of the persecuted Jews. Only with the help of friends, who secretly safeguarded the works, did these survive the war. In June 1944 the couple was denounced, arrested and transferred to the Mechelen camp. In July they were deported on the last transport from Belgium to Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp (1940-1945), where they were murdered.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-4"> <img alt="" class="img-responsive" style="padding-top: 10px;" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/10/felix.jpg" title="" width=""> <p class="caption wht"><strong>Photo of Felix Nussbaum at 26 June 1942</strong>.

In 1936, Kien began to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and at a graphics workshop under Prof. Hugo Steiner-Prag. In 1939, as a result of the Nuremberg Laws, Kien was expelled from the academy, but taught art within the Jewish community. The Nuremberg Laws were a set of discriminatory laws enacted by Nazi Germany in 1935 that defined anyone as Jewish as a separate “race” and enforced racial segregation and discrimination against Jews, stripping them of their citizenship and civil rights.</p> <p class="intropanelwht">On 4 December 1941, Kien, his wife Ilse StrĂĄnsky and his parents were deported to the TerezĂ­n ghetto and transit camp, where he continued to paint and worked in the “drafting office”, which was part of the Technical Department supplying materials for the Jewish Council. Jewish prisoners taught the boys and girls in TerezĂ­n. 5,000 children‘s drawings have survived from the painting lessons, many of them from the courses conducted by Friedl Dicker-Brandeis. Most of the children‘s drawings are archived in the Jewish Museum in Prague. In the “drafting office”, Peter Kien met fellow prisoner Helga Wolfenstein, and a close relationship developed between the two. He wrote the libretto for the opera, <strong><em>The Emperor of Atlantis</em></strong>, as well as poetry and plays.</p> <p class="intropanelwht" style="padding-bottom: 15px;">On 16 October 1944, Kien was deported together with his wife and their parents to Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp (1940-1945), where they were all murdered. Before his deportation from TerezĂ­n, Kien had entrusted his drawings to Helga Wolfenstein. She survived the war and told the story of their friendship and artistic complicity.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-3"> <img alt="" class="img-responsive shdw" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/10/peter-kien-self-portrait.jpg" title="" width=""> <p class="caption"><strong>Peter Kien</strong>, <em>Self-portrait, Prague, 1936</em>.

His mother, grandmother, sister and childhood sweetheart were murdered in a mass shooting in the Rumbula forest near Riga in 1941. These experiences had a lasting effect on Boris Lurie’s life and art. In 1946, he immigrated to New York with his father. In 1959, together with a group of artist friends, he founded the NO!art movement, which opposed Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, but above all the commercialization of art, and critically addressed issues such as racism, sexism and consumer culture.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-3"> <h4><em>Disseminating the Truth about the Crimes of the Holocaust</em></h4> <img alt="" class="img-responsive shdw" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/10/boris-lurie-portrait-of-my-mother.jpg" title="" width=""> <p class="caption"><strong>Boris Lurie</strong>, <em>Portrait of My Mother Before Shooting, 1947</em> (Oil on canvas, 90 × 65 cm, reproduction).

From 1954 to 1974, he was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. He participated in the organization of the so-called “Second Krakow Group” and was its chairman for many years.

In 1942, he and his family were deported to the TerezĂ­n ghetto. The adult prisoners organized cultural programs for the children, and Yehuda Bacon was given drawing lessons with other boys and girls. In 1943, he was deported to the “Family Camp” at Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp (1940-1945). In 1944, Bacon was transferred to the men’s camp, and assigned to a group that transported goods to different parts of the camp. As one of the few survivors of the death march to Mauthausen, he was liberated at the Gunskirchen camp. In 1946, he immigrated to Mandate Palestine, where he studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. Bacon’s experiences during the Holocaust deeply influenced his art, which expresses not only the suffering of the past, but also his return to life.</p> <p class="intropanelwht" style="padding-bottom: 15px">Immediately after his liberation, he made small sketches of the crematoria and gas chambers of Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp (1940-1945), which were later used as evidence at the Eichmann trial of 1961, in which he personally testified. He was also a witness at the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial, which took place from 1963- 1965. Bacon remained a dedicated educator well into his old age, working to ensure that the memory of the Holocaust would be ingrained in the minds of future generations. His interactions with students, educators and the public have left an indelible mark on Holocaust education. One of his most famous students is the contemporary artist, Sigalit Landau.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-4"> <img alt="" class="img-responsive" style="padding-top: 10px;" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/11/yehudabacon.jpg" title="" width=""> <p class="caption wht"><strong>16-year-old Yehuda Bacon in Prague in April 1946</strong>.

Her father is a survivor of the Nazi labour camp in Bukovina. Her maternal grandparents were Austrian Jewish refugees who immigrated to England and were interned there as enemy aliens. Yehuda Bacon was Sigalit Landau’s first drawing teacher, and she recalls him with much gratitude and affection. Today, she is an influential artist and her work is shown in major museums and venues worldwide. For an exhibition in the German Bundestag in 2015 she created a work of art that, on the one hand, was intended to recall the presentation of the shoes of the murdered that can be seen in the exhibition at the Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Death Camp (1940–1945). On the other hand, the work symbolizes the re-emergence of families from the few survivors of the Holocaust. The installation is entitled, <em>Victory of Memory – Island of Shoes</em>.</p> <p class="intropanelwht" style="padding-bottom: 15px;">An almond tree in full bloom fills the screen. Suddenly the treetop is shaken harshly, the branches arch and bow while petals fall from the flowers, filling the frame and floating through the air to the ground. The branches’ monotonous rocking implements a simple cinematic effect. That which has been shaken, damaged and violated is being repaired. The seamless beauty of art seemingly undoes violence.</p> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8" style="padding-top: 20px;"> <h4><em>The Victory of Memory</em></h4> <blockquote style="border-left: none!important; line-height: 20px;">“As infants we walk bare feet, free from protection and interruption. But soon this comes to an end. For most of the rest of our lives we walk with our feet wrapped and protected. We recognize the concept of piling of objects and clothing, and especially as Jews it is always a difficult concept to grasp and digest. Piles of shoes, mountains of shoes, picked and ripped out, shoes of grandchildren, grandparents, rabbis, and shoes of hard working people, standing inside them, restless...” – Sigalit Landau</blockquote> <p class="intropanel">Sigalit Landau collects hundreds of pairs of shoes and puts them in a pile, as an island, inside the sea of salt. The sea wraps them in countless layers, protects them from another disaster, a perpetual process. Shoes that lived and died, and maybe now will get a new meaning, one with an eternal dimension. Sigalit Landau‘s mountain evokes a memorial, an island of remembrance in a sea of death. It beckons the viewer closer for reflection and meditation. Sigalit Landau created this artwork for the opening exhibition of the Museum Center for Persecuted Arts. It was first shown in the German Bundestag in Berlin in 2015.</p> <img alt="" class="img-responsive shdw" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/10/sigalit_landau_island_of_shoes.jpg" title="" width=""> <p class="caption"><strong>Sigalit Landau</strong>, <em>Photo of the installation Victory of Memory – Island of Shoes, 2015</em>, (Shoes, Salt, 300 × 300 cm, reproduction).

Freddy’s parents could barely feed Freddy and his older brother, the late Yisrael Landau. I am sure they were furious, and obviously Tufik‘s feeding was summarily stopped. My father used to tell and retell the story of “his” special dog, and would mention this episode throughout my entire childhood. He would imitate his call to the dog, "Tufik, Tufik, nah! Nah!"</blockquote> <img alt="" class="img-responsive shdw" src="/sites/un2.un.org/files/2023/10/sigalit_landau_tufik.jpg" title="" width=""> <p class="caption" style="padding-left: 5px;"><strong>Sigalit Landau</strong>, <em>Father and Tufik, 2014</em> (Bronze cast, 22 × 25 × 14 cm, reproduction).
