Curated Exhibitions
Holocaust Letters
This exhibition, launching in February 2023 at The Wiener Holocaust Library as part of the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership, will examine Holocaust-era correspondence for evidence of how people understood what was happening to them as events of the Holocaust unfolded. Through letters held by the Library and in private collections, the exhibition will uncover how people exchanged information across borders, in defiance of censors and in the midst of chaos, deportations and destruction. How did survivors and relatives preserve or come to possess letters from the wartime period, and how did these seemingly ordinary objects transform into precious symbols of what was lost? Learn more.
Death Marches:
Evidence and Memory
On show at The Wiener Holocaust Library in 2021 and co-curated with Dan Stone as part of the Holocaust and Genocide Research Partnership, this exhibition uncovers how forensic and other evidence about the death marches has been gathered since the end of the Holocaust. It chronicles how researchers and others attempted to recover the death march routes – and those who did not survive them. Efforts to analyse and commemorate the death marches continue to this day.

Fate Unknown:
The Search for the Missing after the Holocaust
On show at The Wiener Holocaust Library in 2018 and now a traveling exhibition, this exhibition tells the remarkable, little-known story of the agonising search for the missing after the Holocaust. Co-curated with Dan Stone and drawing upon The Wiener Library’s family document collections and its digital copy of the International Tracing Service archive, one of the largest document collections related to the Holocaust in the world, the exhibition considers the legacy of the search for descendants of those affected by World War II, and the impact of fates unknown.
