Description
A visually arresting and powerful first-person history of one of the defining events of the 20th century through original black and white portraits and personal stories of Holocaust survivors living in California.
Critically lauded, the exhibition showcases photographer Evvy Eisen’s fifteen year-long project working with this unique group of Californians. Each piece includes a dramatic black-and-white portrait and compelling narrative of the Survivors’ own description of his/her experiences before during and after World War II.
For more information about this project, please visit the Multiply by Six Million project website. In addition, this site features The Survivor Research Archive: Eisen’s complete collection of portraits and survivors’ full texts of their wartime experiences, organized by category.
This exhibit is also available as an online exhibit! Book the online exhibit as a stand-alone experience, or pair it with the physical exhibit when you host. Visit our online exhibits page to learn more.
