“David Olère. The One Who Survived Crematorium III”- is the title of a unique monographic exhibition of the works of a former Sonderkommando prisoner in the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp, which will be exhibited from 30 October at the Auschwitz Memorial.
It will be the largest exhibition so far, depicting the moving paintings and drawings of the artist, presenting almost the entire exceptional work related to the artist’s traumatic experiences in the camp. In addition to 19 paintings from the Auschwitz Museum Collections, the exhibition will display 64 works on loan from the Yad Vashem and Lohamei haGetaot in Israel, as well as the Mémorial de la Shoah from France.
The curators of this unique international exhibition of the work of David Olère at the Auschwitz Memorial are: Agnieszka Sieradzka, art historian at the Museum Collections, the artist’s grandson Marc Oler and Serge Klarsfeld, the vice-President of Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, who published a catalogue of Olère’s works in France.
