These remarkable images show the people who survived the Holocaust and flourished
They have survived unspeakable brutality and unimaginable loss and trauma - but the men and women in this collection of photographs are far more than the sum of those parts.
The exhibition also features intimate portraits of survivors Steven Frank BEM and Yvonne Bernstein, taken by The Princess of Wales and commissioned specially for the exhibition. Among the subjects is Itzick ‘Ike’ Alterman - who last year told the Manchester Evening News about how he survived four concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau, and a death march. His father died in the Buna work camp while his mother, 14-year-old sister and nine-year-old brother were transported to Treblinka in 1942 and murdered.
Werner and Ruth Lachs BEM are pictured here with their hanukkiah and three of their great-grandchildren Amaya, Dana and Joshua. After the war, the family chronicle was recovered from Berlin, where it had been left when Martin was deported in 1943. Anne later emigrated to South Africa and became an optometrist. She married Maurice, had three children and moved to Manchester.
James Bulgin, content leader of IWM’s Holocaust Galleries, says the remarkable images of survivors and the generations that have followed them are ‘a powerful and important reminder that despite the catastrophic destruction of the Holocaust, Hitler’s intention to destroy all Jewish life and culture across Europe was ultimately unsuccessful’.
