January 27 - International Holocaust Remembrance Day

The UN General Assembly proclaimed January 27, the day of the liberation of Auschwitz, International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The Tretyakov Gallery magazine has published an article by Natella Voyskounski about the French artist Marc Ash and his series of works, "Tous Ensemble", dedicated to the Holocaust.

This series is a combination of paintings and installations which sends a special message from the artist to the viewer: art is communication - emotional, anxious, interested and invaluable. It is to pass on the most essential elements of the present time to our contemporaries, to pass on something immaterial and voiceless which burns in the heart of the artist. Babies, girls and boys, women and men, grandmothers and grandfathers - who perished in the fire of crematoria in concentration camps all over Europe - who could not escape - but whose cries and screams still ring in the hearts of the living, and will be heard by those yet to come, those still coming to life.
