Drawings from Terezín - Diary of Gisela Rottonara

Drawings from Terezín - Gisela Rottonara's Diary Monday 23 September at 6 pm Immediately after her deportation to the Terezín ghetto in July 1942, the almost 70-year-old Viennese painter Gisela Rottonara began documenting her surroundings in a cartoon diary. On the pages of her notebook she recorded her impressions, the corners of Terezín and the faces of the people. After less than six months in the ghetto, she died. However, the diary with the drawings lives on thanks to a fellow prisoner, to whom she entrusted it before her death. Please accept our invitation to the opening of Gisela Rottonara's drawings, which will be presented to the Czech audience for the first time. The exhibition is on loan from the Institut für Jüdische Geschichte Österreichs
