An exhibit set to open in New York that features Holocaust-related artwork is generating controversy. Organizers of “Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery/Recent Art,” to be shown at the Jewish Museum starting March 17, say the exhibition seeks to present Nazi horrors in a thought-provoking manner. But some critics were outraged by the exhibit, which includes a Lego concentration camp kit and collages with bar codes that turn into images of Holocaust victims.
