On the day designated to remember more than 6 million Jewish people killed in the Holocaust, one center on Long Island unveiled an exhibit that celebrates the resilience of those who survived.
“Survivor,” on display at the The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, opened on Sunday May 5th, Yom Hashoah, also known as Holocaust Remembrance Day. It includes large photo portraits of 18 survivors with expressions ranging from contemplative to joyous.
Survivors at the event marking the anniversary, as well as their children and grandchildren, lit candles.
The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County is open seven days a week. The exhibit runs through the end of July.
