As of Sunday, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Holocaust & Humanity Center (HHC) opened at its new location inside the Cincinnati Museum Center. Not only is the location larger, but its also symbolic: At the end of WWII, many Holocaust survivors and refugees landed at Union Terminal’s train station to start new lives.
“We’re the only Holocaust museum in the U.S. with an authentic location to its site,” says Sarah Weiss, executive director of the (HHC). “The location offers us an incredible opportunity to tell the history from the lens of those who arrived at this station,” she continues. “It’s a whole new narrative.”
Visitors will experience new artifacts, detailed eyewitness accounts, interactive exhibits that address issues like genocide and hate crimes, and excerpts from a young survivor’s diary who eventually ended up in Cincinnati.
