From photographs and letters to children’s toys and kitchen utensils, video testimonies help us understand life before the war, death and everyday objects have great personal significance to survivors of the survival inside the camps and ghettos, and reconstruction following Holocaust. These seemingly average items provide a connection to liberation. These items have been donated to CHHE to bring the family members and friends who were killed during the Holocaust. experiences of local survivors and eyewitnesses to life though Today the items offer a tangible link to the past to directly connect Holocaust education. Many artifacts are currently on display in local students and community members to lessons of the Holocaust CHHE’s permanent exhibition, Mapping Our Tears. CHHE uses these at The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education. unique primary resources in curriculum development, programs, and exhibits.

He served as the commander of a German prisoner of war camp for Russian soldiers during World War I. After the war a few of the Russian soldier presented him with the letter opener in thanks for his kindness.

Schedule a Tour of the Mapping Our Tears Exhibit!

Each year thousands of students from public and private schools both near and far visit the Mapping Our Tears exhibit. Through precious artifacts and filmed testimony played in the interactive attic theatre, visiting students learn about Holocaust survivors, eyewitnesses and rescuers, and World War II veterans with connections to the tri-State community. In addition, students are exposed to the rich traditions and customs of the Jewish people by viewing the hundreds of rare artifacts on display from the Cincinnati Judaica Fund Collection.

One student says, “I really liked it when we watched those very touching videos about some of the Holocaust survivors. I feel very inspired by these survivors to stand up against things like the Holocaust, even something little like bullying somebody because they’re different.” Volunteer docent David Lichtenfeld shares the stories To provide your students with this meaningful opportunity, contact Kate Morris at of local Holocaust survivors with students in the 513.487.3055 or [email protected]. Mapping Our Tears exhibit. Scholarships are available for qualifying schools! Ulster Project Visits CHHE

On July 12, CHHE welcomed a group of over twenty high school students participating in the Ulster Project International. This program connects students from the United States with students from participating Northern Irish cities to teach and promote tolerance, particularly between the Catholic and Protestant communities in Northern Ireland. Considering the long-standing historical conflict between these two communities, the formation and sustained effort of the Ulster Project International marks a critical moment in the resolution of religious and socio-politic conflict afflicting the Emerald Isles. In accordance with the Center’s dedication to promoting tolerance, CHHE opened its doors to this group of students from both Cincinnati and Ireland.

While at CHHE, the group first participated in a tour of the Center’s Mapping Our Tears exhibit with special emphasis placed on the themes of tolerance, religion and political pressure in perpetuating or resolving conflict. Following the tour, the group discussed the role art and poetry played in promoting hope and tolerance amid the conditions of the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Before the group bid its farewells to the Center, the students and mentors were invited to decorate paper doves and butterflies with their personal messages of peace and hope for the future. Though our time with these youths was short, it was nonetheless inspiring and refreshing, and for this we were glad to host this group at the Center.
