Abstract

In the Holocaust’s immediate aftermath (1945–1946), a small gallery in Lund, Sweden exhibited the paintings and drawings of Polish artist Jadwiga Simon-Pietkiewicz, which depicted her former fellow inmates in the Ravensbrück concentration camp. This exhibit and subsequent exhibitions elsewhere in Sweden marked rare instances of early postwar Holocaust art displayed in a country that had been relatively unaffected by the Holocaust. By analyzing the response of the Swedish public and press to the artwork in these exhibits, as well as Swedish and international responses to “atrocity photos” of the liberation, the author broadens our understanding of Holocaust art, early testimonies, and agency and resistance during and after the Holocaust.

用水彩和铅笔见证他人的苦难:雅德维加·西蒙-皮特凯维奇的大屠杀艺术展，1945 - 1946年在瑞典展出

大屠杀刚刚结束(1945年至1946年)，瑞典隆德的一家小画廊展出了波兰艺术家雅德维加·西蒙-皮耶基维奇(Jadwiga Simon-Pietkiewicz)的油画和素描，描绘了她在ravensbr克集中营的前囚犯。这次展览和随后在瑞典其他地方举行的展览标志着战后早期大屠杀艺术在一个相对未受大屠杀影响的国家展出的罕见实例。通过分析瑞典公众和媒体对这些展览中的艺术品的反应，以及瑞典和国际上对解放“暴行照片”的反应，作者拓宽了我们对大屠杀艺术、早期证词、大屠杀期间和之后的机构和抵抗的理解。
