Summary
Focuses on the work of German-Jewish artist Felix Nussbaum to tell the story of the Holocaust and to examine how young Germans feel about their nation's past. Relates how Nussbaum, during four years of hiding in Brussels, created a major body of paintings depicting European Jews during the Holocaust, only to be discovered and sent to his death at Auschwitz just one month before the city was liberated. Twenty-five years later, his haunting images were found and sent to his hometown of Osnabruck, Germany, where they inspired a group of young people to bring the art to the world's attention. Demonstrates the impact of Nussbaum's works in contemporary times through a discussion with students in Berlin and indicates that Nussbaum is now widely exhibited and recognized as one of the great artists of his time.
