80th anniversary of the discovery of the Auschwitz camp, the Picasso Museum is also delving into World War II, this time through the lens of art. For 3 months, this cultural institution is exploring and analyzing the systematic attack by Nazism on modern art, where the leaders didn't hesitate to organize entire exhibitions of "degenerate" art solely to disgust visitors. A grand tribute to persecuted and beleaguered artists, to works that were belittled, sold, and even destroyed, which will leave no one indifferent.
