The Ghetto Fighters’ House is pleased to host an online event celebrating the opening of “Fanny’s Journey,” an exhibition that brings to life the experiences of Fanny Ben Ami through her powerful drawings. Fanny’s Journey tells the extraordinary story of Fanny, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl who was born in Germany and grew up in France.

There, Fanny found herself on her own, responsible for leading a group of Jewish children on their way to freedom. The exhibition presents paintings created by Fanny later in life, accompanied by short excerpts from her testimony.
