Traveling Exhibits (sponsored by the NC Council on the Holocaust)

The NC Council on the Holocaust provides traveling exhibits at no cost to public libraries and middle and high schools across North Carolina.

  • ​Life After Survival: UNRRA and Child Survivors after World War II. This exhibit of fifteen panels focuses on the relief efforts for child Holocaust survivors provided by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) in the Kloster Indersdorf children's DP center near Dachau, Germany. 
  • Fences, Walls, and Butterflies. Children Confront the Holocaust through Art. Fifteen framed panels (15"x25" & 30"x25") present art work created by Israeli students at the Yad Layeled art workshop, with text panels on the educational approach of the Yad Layeled Children's Museum. 
  • Dr. Seuss Wants You!: The Political Cartoons of Dr. Seuss, 1941-1942. This exhibit consists of fourteen panels, each of which highlights one Seuss political cartoon against fascism, anti-Semitism, and bigotry, published in PM, a New York daily newspaper.
  • Faces of Resistance: Women in the Holocaust. This exhibit highlights thirty-two women, exploring the human aspects of women and their life in the ghettos, camps, woods and rescue operations while constantly under threat of annihilation. Created by the Moreshet Holocaust Research and Study Centre at Givat Haviva in Israel.
  • Triumph of Life. A 2003 exhibit commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, this display consists of 44 panels (15.5" x 22.5") that depict Jewish resistance to Nazi oppression and feature individual stories of survivors.
