About the Book:

Humanity, NOT with 150 captivating painting on emotions, or lack of, of the Holocaust by world-renowned artist Ardeshir Mohassess, was released in January 2014. “Humanity, NOT” takes an in-depth look, in words and images, at the captured emotions of the victims, perpetrators, bystanders, and survivors of the Holocaust, told in their own words. Reading first-hand horrifying experience of the victims, as well as some thoughts from philosophers and scholars, help us understand that: “Reaction to the Holocaust has to be other than mere horror and revulsion. It has to be more than empathy with the victims, sharing their fear and some part of their actual suffering.”
