Exhibit | Some Were Neighbors: Choice, Human Behavior, and the Holocaust

The central role of Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders in the murder of six million Jews is indisputable, but they did not act alone. The Nazis had help from millions of people across Europe. What role did ordinary people play, and why did so few help the victims? The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) Some Were Neighbors special poster exhibit challenges us to ask important questions as we reflect on the motives and pressures that influenced citizen’s choices and behaviors.

Exhibit will be on display in the Langson Library October and November 2023 during regular library hours.
