Internationally renowned and award-winning historian Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's The Evidence Room is a chilling exploration of the role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz - arguably the Nazis' most horrifying facility. The Evidence Room is both a companion piece to, and an elaboration of, an exhibit at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, based on van Pelt's authoritative testimony against Holocaust denial in a 2000 libel suit argued before the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

She has a Masters Diploma in Business for Arts and Culture from the Istituto Europe di Design (IED). Robert Jan van Pelt is professor of architecture at the University of Waterloo.

Reviews for The Evidence Room

[<i>The Evidence Room</i>] is a remarkable achievement, among the most important works in my view on the Nazi 'project' - accessible but concise and extraordinarily compelling. - Berle Lang
