Permanent Exhibit
Bearing Witness: A Community Remembers
Authentic film footage, artifacts, photographs, and documents show life in pre-war Europe, the Nazi move toward the "Final Solution," and life after the Holocaust.
In Search of Hope
“In Search of Hope” is a tribute exhibition to honor those who perished in the Holocaust as well as remind Americans of the importance of coexistence on the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The exhibition consists of 19 works that are included in artist Saul Balagura’s larger collection “Holocaust Series.” It presents a unique view of one of history’s darkest periods in a new traveling exhibit that attempts to depict the Holocaust not from an historical perspective but rather from an artist’s abstract conception of the emotion, drama and courage the period fostered.
Dr. Seuss Wants You!
"Dr. Seuss," whose real-life name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, is best known for his children’s books written under the “Dr. Seuss” pen name, but he was a life-long cartoonist and served as chief political cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM from 1941-1943, a period in which the Nazi regime prospered – prompting more than 400 editorial cartoons from Geisel. His work continues to inspire people of all backgrounds and ages to think and care about the fate of humanity.

Photographs in this exhibit capture a conflict which has led to some of the worst human rights abuses imaginable.  These abuses include systematic and wide-scale murder, rape, torture, abduction and displacement. The images in the exhibit represent the reality of genocide. The people in the photographs are a reminder of life’s beauty and preciousness.
