This exhibition is based on the Journal of Hélène Berr, a

young Jewish French woman, whose promising future

was cut short by Vichy laws and the extermination plan

of the Nazis. Berr was 21 years old when she began

writing her Journal. We follow her steps through the

German Occupation, until her arrest and deportation to

Auschwitz in 1944.

…peace with honour. I believe it is peace

for our time. Now I recommend you go

home, and sleep quietly in your beds.

"Oh, don't take it so seriously. That piece

of paper is of no further significance

whatever."

Our enemies are small worms. I saw them at Munich.
