French-Israeli artist Shelomo Selinger, a survivor of nine Nazi concentration camps, has donated two of his artworks to the United Nations cultural body Unesco. The unveiling of the restored works coincides with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp and the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.
"Those who knew the camps are never free from them," Selinger, 97, wrote in his 2021 book Nuit et Lumière – Des marches de la mort au chemin de la Vie ("Night and Light: From Death Marches to the Path of Life").
