The display is being mounted across the world to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2012.
In today's world, where so many issues of importance seize global attention and attract debate, this exhibition showcases 16 young designers who have recognized the centrality of Holocaust Remembrance. The unique collection of posters reflects each designer's personal attempt to focus upon the memory of the Holocaust.

Since I was a child, I remember myself learning and hearing stories about the Holocaust. There were always lots of numbers involved, numbers that were beyond my youthful comprehension. The purpose of this poster is to examine cold data and give it an info-graphic meaning that will arouse emotion and foster understanding.
