"And They Saw the Voices..."

October 10 – 20, 2024

From October 10 to 20, 2024, the National Museum of History of Moldova will host the exhibition "And They Saw the Voices...", an event dedicated to commemorating the tragic events of October 7, 2023, which marked a turning point in Israel's history. This remarkable initiative is organized by the Museum of Jewish History in the Republic of Moldova, in partnership with the National Museum of History of Moldova and the Maalot Association, with the support of the Embassy of Israel and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Moldova.

The opening ceremony of the event will take place on October 10 at 4:00 PM in the courtyard of the National Museum of History of Moldova. The exhibition is more than just an art presentation; it is a window into the souls and emotions of children from southern Israel who have been profoundly affected by recent events. The displayed works were created during art therapy sessions, providing an opportunity for these young artists to express their feelings and experiences.

Each drawing tells its own story, reflecting the thoughts, fears, and hopes of the children. Among the exhibited works is a creation by Aviv Shilo, a talented 10-year-old artist, who produced a drawing entitled "Boom." This piece is accompanied by a powerful and emotional message: "Whatever happens - Israel will prevail." This message of hope resonates deeply, reminding us of human strength and determination, even in the most challenging times.

The exhibition "And They Saw the Voices..." is not just an opportunity to admire the artistic works of these children but also a chance to reflect on the impact that tragic events have on younger generations. Through art, children succeed in expressing their feelings and making their voices heard, reminding us all of the importance of compassion and understanding.

We invite the public to join this moving experience and discover the power of art to unify and heal. This exhibition is a perfect example of how art can transcend barriers and create connections between communities.

The exhibition will remain open until October 20, 2024, providing everyone the opportunity to connect with these powerful stories.
