This panels uses the typical layout of a high school graduation "tableau".

Unlike in most US high schools, students in the Czech Republic are grouped into "classes" of approximately 25-30. Each "class" stays together for the entire four years. Each "class" is arbitrarily identified by a letter ('A', 'B', and so on).

For example, I began my own high school studies in "class 1-B" (the 'B' group of freshmen, in American parlance). All of my 1-B classmates stayed together in each instructional period for the entire four years, and graduated together as "class 4-B" four years later.

Each graduating "class" typically produces a bulletin board-style display with graduation photographs of themselves, and "contracts" with a local shop (florists were especially popular) to display it to the passing public.

In this exhibit panel, the students mimicked the shape of a typical "tableau" and placed into it the photographs of students and faculty from their own school, who perished in the Holocaust.
