Foundation For California kicks off a Central Valley tour of “The Courage To Remember” Holocaust exhibit on Sept. 22, 4:30 PM at California State University Fresno’s University Student Union Building.
Long Beach, CA – Because violence against racial, ethnic and religious minorities continue to mar civil society, the Foundation For California presents a unique traveling exhibit of Holocaust education without cost to the public. “The Courage To Remember” Holocaust exhibit will open on September 22, 6:30 PM at California State University Fresno’s University Student Union Building (5280 North Jackson Ave., Fresno, CA 93740). Attending will be a gathering of civic, business, political religious and community leaders. Refreshments will be served. This September 22 opening ceremony is open to the public.
The traveling exhibit is based on the internationally acclaimed “Courage to Remember” Holocaust exhibit of the Museum of Tolerance, the educational arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. The Foundation first made the traveling exhibit available to California communities in 1991. Two decades later its message is still relevant. “The timeless message of ‘never forget’ provides a link between generations, using history to empower each generation to resist ignorance and stand up for what is right,” stated Rodney Wilson, a member of the Foundation’s Board.
“Two decades after we designed this exhibit, its lesson is still vital to peace at home and abroad,” stated Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. From time to time, Rabbi Cooper will appear with other spokespersons from the Museum of Tolerance to speak on the meaning of the Holocaust during the presentation of the exhibit.
“The Courage To Remember” will be on display at California State University Fresno from September 22 - 27.
