Imagining a Better World: The Artwork of Nelly Toll
[http://www.massillonmuseum.org/media/1/Exhibits%3A%20Traveling/NellyTravelingImage_sm.jpg]<http://www.massillonmuseum.org/traveling-nelly-toll>
In WWII Nazi-occupied Poland, a young Jewish girl named Nelly Toll was forced into hiding with her mother. Camped out in the small bedroom of a tiny apartment owned by a Catholic couple, Nelly and her mother were forced to stay indoors for eighteen months. During this time, Nelly began painting watercolor images of happy children, carefree school days, and colorful landscapes, accompanying these artworks with handwritten stories. Her imagined world brought her hope and comfort in the midst of tragedy, and became a powerful vehicle for making sense of the history around her.

The Massillon Museum proudly offers the opportunity to exhibit reproductions of Dr. Nelly Toll's artwork, sourced from one of the largest extant collections of Holocaust memorabilia created by a child.

Accompanying the exhibit is a nine-minute film produced by DOCdance Productions as a part of an upcoming documentary about Nelly Toll.

This exhibit was made possible in part by The Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Tune in to NBC Nightly News this weekend (March 18-19) to watch a special segment on Nelly Toll's recent visit to Berlin, Germany, and the Massillon Museum's traveling exhibition of her artwork.
