Schmidt Center Gallery Public Space

Opening Reception: January 22, 2025, 6:30 pm
The US soldiers who helped defeat Nazi Germany and liberate the concentration camps were among the first eyewitnesses to the Holocaust. Remembering their stories of freedom inspires us to promote human dignity and confront hatred whenever and wherever it occurs. This January 27, 2025, International Holocaust Day of Remembrance, marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Liberation exhibit brought to the FAU Galleries from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in collaboration with the Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education presents 21 panels of historical images leading to this historical liberation day.
