At Home Everywhere and Nowwhere
by Korea Foundation Cultural Center
Location: The Korea Foundation Cultural Center
Date: 4 Mar - 25 Mar 2010

65 years have passed since the concentration camp at Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet troops. Visiting the German Bundestag in January this year, Israeli President Schimon Peres implored everyone to remember the cruel crimes committed by the National Socialists, emphasising the importance of remembering this atrocious act of genocide – especially by the younger generations. This is what the exhibition “At Home Everywhere and Nowhere” hopes to achieve. It will be opened by Martin Doerry on Wednesday the 3rd March. The exhibition showcases works by the renowned photographer Monika Zucht and can be viewed from the 3rd – 25th March 2010 at the Korea Foundation Cultural Center.

Over the span of several years, photographer Monika Zucht and author Martin Doerry travelled through Europe and America to talk to those that had survived Nazi Germany’s concentration camps, those that had been sent abroad for their own safety by their parents, as well as those that had survived the Nazi years by living in hiding. An insightful body of work by Zucht emerged from these encounters, with interviews and essays by Doerry. The photos portray 23 individuals; they are some of the last representatives of a time when the Jewish presence in Europe was strongly felt.
