Travelling exhibitions
In early July 1942, Emanuel (Emo) Groag (1886-1961), with his wife Gertruda (Trude) (1889-1979) and their son Willi (1914-2001), were deported to Ghetto Theresienstadt. Emanuel was sent to work in the carpentry. A short while later, he was transferred to the technical department and began work forging well-known works of art under the instruction of the Nazi command. Emanuel also took part in teaching and training children and youth in the ghetto. Though Trude had studied early education, in the ghetto she worked as a nurse. For a while, she herself was sick, and she took advantage of this time to work with children. She developed a special production technique using various materials available in the ghetto. Their son, Willi, served as an educator at the L410 girls’ home.
The exhibition displays works produced by the Groag family.
The exhibition includes 15 half-sheet-sized PVC panels, suitable for display on easels.
Exhibition fee: 1,500 NIS.
The exhibition is also available in a digital format.
