Foothill College has scheduled “The Courage to Remember,” a traveling exhibition produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance, through March 2 on the lower level of the KCI Gallery, 12345 S. El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills.

After more than 20 years of international acclaim and a celebrated statewide tour, “The Courage to Remember” premieres at Foothill in partnership with the Foundation for California.

The exhibition has attracted more than 2 million visitors at 73 locations since its inception, making it the most widely attended traveling exhibition on Holocaust education and remembrance. “The Courage to Remember” features 200 exclusive photographs that offer rare insight into the Holocaust. The display is divided 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.”

“We are delighted that Foothill College has invited ‘The Courage to Remember’ to its campus and community,” said Alfred Balitzer, Ph.D., chairman of the Foundation for California. “‘The Courage to Remember’ uses history to empower generations to resist ignorance, fight discrimination and pursue justice for all. In culturally diverse areas like California, this exhibition is not a luxury, it is a necessity.”

Exhibition hours are 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Parking Lots 3 and 5 provide access to the gallery. Parking for those with disabilities is available in Lot 4.

“THE COURAGE TO REMEMBER”, an educational exhibit on the history of the Holocaust

February 9, 2012 through February 20, 2012

“The Courage To Remember” is a 42 panel educational exhibit on the Holocaust of 1933-1945.  It is an historical account of the Nazis’ murderous campaign in which 6 million Jews and others (political dissidents, P.O.W.’s, Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals and the mentally ill) were killed between 1933 and 1945. The crimes of the Nazis during the Holocaust serve as a dark chapter of the 20th century.  Yet, the causes of the Holocaust remain with us today. Man’s flawed nature, racism and complacency of ordinary people in the persecution of others persist.

Therefore, the need for this exhibit.  Individual citizens must have the courage to remember, educate themselves of this tragedy and commit to prevent such crimes from happening again.

This exhibit of the Museum of Tolerance is made possible by an educational grant from SNCF and presented by the Foundation For California. It will be shown at the Vintage Faire Mall’s Center Court from February 9-20, 2012.
