Children's Drawings from Darfur Exhibit

Anne Frank Center Announcement

The Anne Frank Center, USA, located in New York, is holding a special exhibit featuring drawings from refugee children in Darfur. Dr. Jerry Ehrlich smuggled the drawings out of Sudan by hiding them in a copy of the New York Times as he left the country. He spent two months in 2004 providing medical assistance to refugees at a refugee camp.

The drawings demonstrate the profound psychological effects on the children who have and continue to witness the genocide going on in Darfur. Children, given no instruction on what to draw, depict scenes of extreme violence. This speaks to the very heart of the evil behind this crime against humanity.
