Lest we Forget - Gegen das Vergessen
Over the last few months, Luigi Toscano has made more than 200 portrait photographs of concentration camp survivors. The portraits were taken in Israel, Russia, the Ukraine, Germany, and the US. The project, timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of survivors from the concentration camps at the end of the Second World War, is intended to inspire us to reflect, "Lest we forget." The photographs of now elderly first-hand witnesses represent a strong artistic call to take a stand against the antisemitism and racism of today. The cultural project will be on exhibition as a photo installation in public areas of Mannheim's Alte Feuerwache (Germany) from 16 September 2015.
