ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Opening Night: February 24th at 6pm. Members Free | Public by Donation Only
Exhibit at LHMH: Feb 24-April 1st
Follow eight stories of strength, pain, and the search for small joys for young people growing up in Jewish ghetto of Będzin (Poland) before, during, and after the Holocaust.
In 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland. German forces occupied the Polish city of Będzin, changing the lives of Jewish people forever. Youth of Będzin struggled with growing up amid violence, hatred, and loss, while still trying to find small joys in life.
The exhibit was inspired by Doris Martin, the founder of the Martin-Springer Institute. She grew up in Bedzin, and she and her family survived the Holocaust. She lived in AZ.
The exhibit has been shown in communities and schools in Arizona and New York. It has been translated into Polish and exhibited in Sosnowiec, Poland. It has also been shown in the South African Holocaust centers of Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town.
