Living On

October – November 2007

The Auschwitz Jewish Center is presenting “Living On” photographic exhibition by Professor Robert Heller of the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. The Consulate General of the United States of America is a co-organizer of the project in Oświęcim.

“Living On” delivers an inspiring message of the victory of life over death by telling the stories of Holocaust survivors, liberators, prisoners of war, and witnesses who came from or moved to the state of Tennessee.  Most of the photographs being shown in Warsaw feature individuals born within the borders of pre-World War II Poland or whose major experience of the war was on Polish soil.  Each photograph is accompanied by the person’s story in Polish and English.  “Living On” shows how deeply this dark part in history continues to touch on all of us in ways that link us, Poles and Americans alike – even in just one of the fifty states of the United States of America.

The American Embassy has brought the exhibition to Poland from the United States in cooperation with the Tennessee Holocaust Commission.
