Portraits of Survival by David Radler
The Institute for Holocaust Education proudly presents Portraits of Survival, an exhibit of 36 black and white photographs that tell the stories of our local Holocuast survivors. It honors those who survived horrific and life-changing experiences before finding their way to Omaha to rebuild their lives after the war. The exhibit is an opportunity for community members to bear witness to the memories of those who survived the atrocities of the Holocaust. The exhibit, created by David Radler for the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht, will be exhibited in the Jewish Community Center Gallery through November 24th.
The Institute for Holocaust Education works to ensure that the tragedy and history of the Holocaust are remembered, that appropriate, fact-based instruction and materials are available to students, educators, and the public to enable them to learn the lessons of the Holocaust and that, as a result, we inspire our community to create a more just and equitable society.

For the past 20 years, Omaha has been home to 10 shlichim, young emissaries from Israel who have worked to actively engage the community, organize events, and contribute to various organizations. Posters recognizing the past and current shlichim will be on display in the pop up Gallery until November 25th. Posters include a current Q&A with past participants. Notebooks are also available for community members who wish to write / send a message to any of the shlichim.
