A Traveling Exhibit for Museums, Schools, Libraries and Community Centers
Six Powerful Videos
Survivors’ voices make Holocaust history vivid and personal. Six powerful videos and six informational panels connect the experiences of one Jewish family to the immense scale of the Holocaust.
An intimate look at a family of survivors sharing stories and celebrations helps combat antisemitic stereotypes while transmitting messages they urgently wanted future generations to understand.

Take-home component extends learning and emotional connection
In a closet in a Bronx apartment there sat a worn shoebox filled with pictures. From time to time, a child would take it out and ask her mother about the people in the pictures. They'd sit side by side and the stories would come. Those stories inspired this exhibit….
Six cards feature photos and stories of survivors and messages they wished to convey to future generations. These powerful keepsakes link to the exhibit videos and also pose questions that connect to our lives today.
