Our Dedication

Visitors are welcomed to the Holocaust Center with this iconic quote to demonstrate our obligation to remember the Holocaust and its victim, and our duty to lessen the chance of future genocides.

The Early Years

This section of the exhibit represents Jewish life before the Holocaust through a display of items, including a family Torah, passports, photos, and letters.

War, Persecution, Ghettos, and Camps

Panels describe how the Nazis began the destruction of the Jewish communities by forcing Jews into ghettos in Poland and other occupied countries.

The United States Joining the War

Two display cases reflect America’s involvement in the war. Magazines and posters from before the war clearly show that the United States knew what was happening, but were reluctant to join the effort.

The Jews and Resistance

One of the most important lessons the Holocaust teaches is that the Jews did fight back at every opportunity, as shown in text and photographs.

The Final Solution and End of the War

This museum display addresses the Nazis’ solution to what they called their “Jewish Problem”—mass murder.

Witness Histories: Survivor and Liberator Testimonies

As part of the permanent exhibit, the Center’s special display, “Our Story,” features the histories and images of local survivors.

Displaced Person

Displaced Person traces the journey of Oswald “Valdik” Holzer, a Czech Jewish doctor.

Holocaust Victims Assistance Act

In pre-war Europe insurance policies were a popular form of investment, yet very few families were able to collect benefits at the end of the war.

Artifacts and Works of Art

Throughout the building, there are pieces of art, including dolls made in camps, sculptures created by survivors, posters, and original works of art, that remind us of why we must keep the promise of “Never Again.”
