The Holocaust & Humanity Center’s archive is home to over 10,000 precious treasures. Each of these artifacts holds a powerful story about a local eyewitness to the Holocaust. Join us for “Out of the Archives,” an exclusive artifact-focused museum tour led by a member of the collections team whose work preserves HHC’s artifacts for generations to come. This tour will focus on the story of Henry Fenichel, a local Cincinnati Holocaust survivor. Participants will see artifacts that have never been exhibited before and they can interact with Henry’s newly launched Dimensions in Testimony biography.
Join us for a gallery talk and tour celebrating Women’s History Month on March 23. The featured speaker will be Ray Warren. Ray tells the story of his mother, Fannie Warren. Fannie was born in the small town of Zwolen, Poland and was one of five children born to Rubin and Mindel Hofman. She was married shortly after the war began in 1940. After working in slave labor camps, she was finally liberated by the British at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Of her family, only she and her brother, Chaim, survived. Ray has a Ph.D. in Biology and is retired from Procter and Gamble. He is a founding member of the Cincinnati Combined Generations of the Holocaust, a predecessor organization to the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center.
After the gallery talk, guests are invited to stay for a guided museum tour focused on women’s stories during the Holocaust.
Cincinnati is a city built by upstanders—a community where courage, compassion, and positive change come to life. Join us for the 2025 Upstander Awards on June 22 at 6 p.m., as we honor the individuals who embody these values and make our city stronger.
This gala-style event will take place in the iconic rotunda of historic Union Terminal, featuring a three-course meal, music, interactive art experiences, and an inspiring awards ceremony. Together, we’ll celebrate the stories of those who rise to challenges and lift others in the process.
Be part of a night that showcases why Cincinnati is a place where upstanders rise together. Let’s come together to honor their impact and build an even brighter future.
