This image of Jews captured by German troops during the Warsaw ghetto uprising was taken from the album of SS General Jurgen Stroop who crushed the uprising. The photograph was used as evidence during the Nuremberg Trials. As in each previous year, a Holocaust survivor will share her story. The arts provide us important ways to remember the Holocaust. They are also vehicles for bearing witness, for ensuring that the dead are not lost to the oblivion of forgetting.
All events are free and open to the public.
