Hartford Remembers the Holocaust Exhibit Tour

The Hartford Remembers the Holocaust exhibit at the Museum of Jewish Civilization at the Greenberg Center at the university of Hartford, introduces visitors to the history of the Holocaust through the experience of Holocaust survivors who settled in out community. 

We invite students, teacher, and the community to remember the pasts of those in our community. Our mission is to combat anti-Semitism, racism and prejudice in the work, implemented by our education tours that include themes such as:

• Remembrance
• Responses to persecution
• Resistance
• Identiy
• Refugee experiences

Admission is free and travel subsidies may be issued upon request.

We recommend allotting two hours for a class trip to view the exhibit and hear testimony from a Hartford-area Holocaust survivor during the trip.

To schedule a trip for your class this school year, contact Kimberly Ballaro at the Holocaust Education Resource and Outreach (HERO) Center at herocenter@ctvoicesofhope.org.
