Traveling Exhibit
Silent Voices Speak — Remembering the Holocaust
View full schedule
"Silent Voices Speak — Remembering the Holocaust" represents one artist's effort to put a human face on a devastating event in the history of our times — the Holocaust. The mixed-media works in this exhibition are based on black-and-white documentary photographs taken in Europe between 1933 and 1945. The haunting, horrific scenes depicted cannot be disputed, even though deniers of the Holocaust have tried. The photographs were obtained from the archives of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.		 Traveling Exhibit<br><i>Silent Voices Speak — Remembering the Holocaust</i>

The exhibit “Darfur:  Photojournalists Respond,” based on the book “Darfur: Twenty Years of War and Genocide in Sudan,” by Leora Kahn, features 30 photographs taken in Darfur by Colin Finlay, Sven Torfinn, Pep Bonet, Ron Haviv, Lynsey Addario, Chris-Steele Perkins, Kadir van Lohuizen and Oliver Jobard. 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.

In Search of Hope
View full schedule
Saul Balagura is an abstract expressionist committed to the remembrance of the Holocaust. Through his dramatic paintings and evocative poetry, he draws viewers into an atmosphere charged with emotion. Balagura has said of his work: “Victims must have memories; but only when those who were not victims remember, will the eternal flame keep warm the hearts of generations to come.” The hurricane of sprawling colors in Balagura’s paintings and drawings are at once commemorative and educational.

Questionable Issue: Currency of the Holocaust
View full schedule
The currencies of the Nazi ghettos silently embody the tragedy, depravity, horror, hope and salvation of the time. The money in this collection is in some cases the only reminder we have of people erased from our world during World War II. These notes move our souls to anguish. Through its breadth and depth, this exhibit bears witness to the full scope of the Holocaust.		 Traveling Exhibit<BR><i>Questionable Issue: Currency of the Holocaust</i>
