Overview
We will host 10 artists from different countries who will get to hear about the story of the Holocaust in Macedonia. Inspired from the rich history of this small country, they will paint and create art that will later be shown in an exhibition to the public.

We will plan a week long of activities for the artists, including, showing them the permanent exhibition in our Memorial Center, introducing them to the children and grandchildren of the Holocaust survivors who will personally tell their family stories, visiting Bitola and Shtip- the two other biggest Jewish centers before the War besides Skopje, the Jewish community in Skopje, field trips and so on. Later, we will organize an exhibition of their work where the youngest Jewish community members will interpret the paintings for the guests.

European Dimension
Through our story, people will get to know the story of the Holocaust in Europe and the tragic faith of our grandparents. We can also send the exhibition to other European Memorial Centers.
