“My Black-and-White Shadows: Memento Mori” is an exhibition of paintings by Zdeněk Daniel (born 1970), an architect and artist from Jablonec nad Nisou. His father, Zdeněk Daniel senior (born 1929), was saved from the transport of Roma from Moravia to Auschwitz-Birkenau in May 1943, but the rest of the family perished during the war. 
The family's wartime history was a difficult subject for Zdenek Daniel Jr. to come to terms with. It was only in 2016 that he decided to put his struggle to come to terms with it on paper, creating eight Holocaust-themed paintings that are dramatically different from the rest of his work. The planned exhibition, hosted by the Hyb Gallery at the newly opened campus of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in the center of Prague, will present these Holocaust paintings in the context of Daniel's previous artwork.

The opening of the exhibition marks the 75th anniversary of the transport of Roma from the Protectorate to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
