Traveling Exhibit

Hatikvah Holocaust Education Center is proud to share our permanent exhibit, “A Reason to Remember” by creating a traveling version that makes it possible for people all over the country to see the touching story of five families from the small rural village of Roth, Germany. This story, which is a microcosm of what occurred throughout Nazi-occupied Europe, contains photographs, documents and images of artifacts that can be seen nowhere else.
