Oklahoma Holocaust Remembrance Exhibition
Cimarron Alliance Foundation, in partnership with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and other community, civic, and religious-based organizations, is pleased to bring to Oklahoma City two exhibitions and two widely acclaimed documentary films.
Most people are familiar with the Nazi regime’s persecution and murder of six million Jews, but there were many other groups deemed “inferior”, including homosexuals, who suffered a similar fate. There were also many rescuers who risked everything – their lives and the lives of their families – to save Jews from the Holocaust. The exhibitions in Oklahoma City will examine some of these lesser-known aspects of the Holocaust.
This exhibit is offered free to the public, Thursday, September 15 – Sunday, October 23, at Untitled [ArtSpace], 1 NE 3rd Street, Oklahoma City. Gallery hours will be Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 11am to 4pm, Fridays 11am to 8pm, and Sundays 1pm to 4pm.
The exhibition includes: “Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933 – 1945″, a traveling exhibition of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum;
“RESCUERS: Portraits of Moral Courage in the Holocaust,” photographs by Gay Block and text by Rabbi Malka Drucker.
In conjunction with the exhibit, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art will be screening two Holocaust related documentary films, “Paragraph 175″ and “Resisting Paradise.” See www.okcmoa.com for film details and showtimes. Or see www.okholocaustexhibition.org for exhibit info.
