Previous Exhibits

Many of the special exhibits and programs that Hatikvah Holocaust Education Center brings to the area are important vehicles for understanding the struggles of different groups and people.  Often, we collaborate with other organizations in creating these programs. By showing how groups of people throughout history have dealt with discrimination, oppression, and persecution, the lessons of the Holocaust have deeper and broader meaning.

The injustices that have occurred throughout history are best understood in terms of human choice and human responsibility.  Since every story of oppression involves victims, perpetrators, collaborators, bystanders, resistors, and rescuers, each one offers insight into the choices people make and the consequences of those choices.  While no instance of oppression can be compared with another, when examined together, important lessons are reinforced about making conscientious, ethical choices that can help create a more just world and a better future.
