CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Jewish Community Center of Corpus Christi is inviting the public to a one-of-a-kind exhibit that commemorates the lives of those lost in the Holocaust.
The program is called 'Hate Ends Now: The Cattle Car Exhibit,' and it is coming to the Corpus Christi Musuem of Science and History next week.
The exhibit will feature a 30-minute, 360-degree immersive presentation for groups of 20-30. Students and visitors will be exposed to the development and aftermath of the Holocaust through a collection of images and footage dating from 1933-1945. Visitors will hear recorded testimonies of Holocaust survivors sharing their personal stories of endurance.
The exhibit is free, but schools who wish to bring their classes must register at the link here or call Jewish Community Council of Corpus Christi 361-855-6239 for further information.
Event organizers say they are presenting this exhibit to combat hate throughout our communities and around the world. It is not political statement. It is meant to inspire reflection and thoughtful conversations about genocide while using lessons from the Holocaust to educate on the dangers of hate, discrimination and bigotry.
It opens on Monday at 9 a.m. and will continue until Tuesday.
