Musealia, a global leader in the creation of touring exhibitions, marks the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz as the Seeing Auschwitz exhibition opens at the Archivio di Stato di Torino (Sale espositive, Piazzetta Molino 1) in Turin.
Edith Carter, Holocaust survivor, said: "Everybody, every human being has the obligation to contribute somehow to this world."
Guided by this mission, Seeing Auschwitz invites guests to engage critically with history, reflect on the lessons of the past, and take responsibility for remembrance, both now and into the future.
"At Musealia, we believe that preserving and sharing history, making it accessible to all kinds of audiences across the world, is our way of honoring that obligation," says the company.
"An ethical commitment that is not only about sharing knowledge, but about creating spaces for reflection, places where history can be encountered with attention, care, and critical thought.

Remembering, reflecting, and learning from the past
The anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation is a time to pause, remember, and to reflect on the significance of memory itself.
Remembering is both an act of commemoration and a learning process, says Musealia. "To know the past is to confront its failures, to recognise the consequences of indifference, and to reflect on how knowledge can shape more conscious choices in the present."
Exhibitions such as Auschwitz. Not Long Ago. Not Far Away (co-created by Musealia and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum) and Seeing Auschwitz (co-created by Musealia and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in collaboration with the United Nations and UNESCO) aim to carry this responsibility across borders and generations.
They invite guests to actively engage with history, questioning, observing, and facing the realities behind the narratives and images that have influenced our shared understanding of the Holocaust.
Seeing Auschwitz opens in Turin within this reflective framework.
The exhibition critically analyses photographic evidence of Auschwitz and the Holocaust, much of which was produced by the perpetrators. These images demand careful, critical reading, highlighting that photographs are not neutral records but mediated representations that require interpretation and context.
Rather than offering definitive answers, Seeing Auschwitz encourages reflection and awareness, emphasising the importance of understanding the mistakes of the past not as history but as lessons that help prevent their repetition today.
"Remembering, then, is not an act confined to the past," says Musealia.
"It is an ongoing responsibility, one that calls on each of us to think critically, to learn from history, to look beyond the picture, and to contribute, in our own way, to a more conscious and informed world."
In December, Musealia announced an extended run for the exhibition Titanic. The Human Story, which is on show at the Musée de la civilisation in Quebec City until 8 March.
