Enemy Frenemy Friend
Whether Prisoners of War created art for self-expression, as a means of exchange, to alleviate boredom, or to soothe homesickness remains largely unknown.
However, their creations can reveal insights into the pre-war lives these individuals led and longed to return to. This exhibit offers visitors a unique opportunity to connect creatively with World War II history, moving beyond mere facts and figures.
We hope it provides a deeper understanding of the human emotions of those labeled as enemies during this time of global conflict.
