In fact, the exhibition seeks to link the clandestine art produced in the concentration camps and the art produced by artists who survived them to the subsequent current of so-called \u201cempathic\u201d contemporary artists in their updated re-elaboration of <strong>the memory of the Holocaust<\/strong>. Echoes of Hope is therefore a transnational initiative aimed at keeping the memory alive, promoting <strong>civic engagement against hatred and intolerance<\/strong> in the present and in the future thanks to a range of <strong>eleven contemporary artists of different nationalities<\/strong> (Italian, German, British, Australian, Israeli and American), both living and deceased, with a strong temperament and personality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are perhaps the last generation to have had direct contact with the survivors.
