I searched Estonian and polish web sites for an image of this “art exhibit,” but there aren’t any. There are articles, but they just repeat what the post says above.
I can imagine how something like this would traumatize Jews…
Please don`t jump into this Jewish trap. This exhibition is Jewish-sponcored shit, not some brave Revisionism whatever.
The Jewish Museum in New York City exhibited these sets in 2002 as part of a show entitled Mirroring Evil: Nazi Imagery/Recent Art. Critics charged that Libera’s sets trivialize the Holocaust. Defenders argue, however, that the LEGO sets mirror the evil-minded ingenuity required to construct the concentration camps as instruments of terror. Art historical criticism, like that proposed by Ernst van Alphen, has argued that these toys seek to represent and refigure the Holocaust in a more familiar register that recovers its meaning from overbearing Holocaust education programs. Art historian Norman Kleeblatt proposes a similar reading, understanding the works as a study into the Foucauldian biopower of concentration camps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Libera
