The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today inaugurated the art exhibition “Auschwitz: the Final Solution,” by the Ecuadoran artist and OAS General Secretariat official Gabriel Gross.

Secretary General Insulza recalled that the Shoah (as the Holocaust is named in Hebrew) “is the largest genocide that has been committed” in history, and urged efforts to ensure that “this never happens again, we have to make sure that humanity never forgets the degradation of the human being that was the Holocaust.”

The exhibition is made up of eight large panels painted in oil on canvas, and is displayed in the OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, located at 17th Street and Constitution Avenue, now until February 8. The exhibition will coincide with International Holocaust Day on January 27.
