May marked the 68th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, when the war against Nazi Germany ended and with it, Adolf Hitler’s systematic extermination of Europe’s Jews.
The Holocaust, for nearly 70 years, has been a moment in history both painful to remember and impossible to forget.
In 1988, the Simon Wiesenthal Center debuted its traveling exhibit, “The Courage to Remember: the Holocaust 1933-1945.”
The display is comprised of 200 original photographs that chronologically examine the events preceding, during and following the Holocaust.
And the critically acclaimed exhibit has come to La Habra.
Through Sept. 22, “The Courage to Remember” exhibition will be at the La Habra Library.
The exhibit, which is open to the public during the library’s normal operating hours, is broken into four themes: Nazi Germany, 1933-1938; Moving Toward the “Final Solution,” 1939-1941; Annihilation in Nazi-occupied Europe, 1941-1945; and Liberation – Building New Lives.
