STATE OF THE ARTS: Vedem: The Underground Magazine of the Terezin Ghetto

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

"Vedem: The Underground Magazine of the Terezin Ghetto" is a multi-media traveling exhibit that deconstructs and reinterprets the literary work of a secret society of Jewish boys, who created the longest-running underground magazine in a Nazi camp.

Vedem was their voice, their defiance, and their connection to life before. Using pop-art graphics, drawings and paintings, and the prose and poetry of teenage prisoners in Terezin, the exhibit breaks down the original pages of Vedem then reconstructs them in the form of a contemporary magazine. 

The exhibit runs through May 31 at the El Paso Holocaust Museum. Jamie Flores, Programming & Education Director of El Paso Holocaust Museum and Study Center previews the exhibit.
