CANADIAN — On this day, marking the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, The Citadelle Art Museum announces Human Resonance: Portraits with Presence, a major new exhibition opening February 14, 2026. At the center of the exhibition is the work of internationally celebrated painter David Kassan, whose portraits of Holocaust survivors give visual testimony to lives shaped by survival, memory, and resilience. Kassan’s work serves as a reminder that these stories remain personal, present, and essential to remember.
