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 with Holocaust survivor Monique Rothschild on December 14. Monique shares the story of her family’s daring escape from Nazi-held Europe. Monique’s parents, Ernest and Hilda, fled antisemitism in Germany in 1933. They met and fell in love in Paris. In 1939, Ernest was sent to the first of half a dozen work camps for enemy aliens. Monique was born in 1940 in Bellac near the last labor camp where Ernest was imprisoned. Following a month of separation, Hilda was able to make the perilous trip across the Pyrenees Mountains into Spain, carrying Monique, to make departure on a ship for which she already had tickets for passage. Thanks to an unexpected travel delay of several weeks and assistance from the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), Ernest was able to reunite with Hilda and Monique in Seville. They reunited just in time to board one of the last ships, the SS Navemar, taking refugees to the United States and arrived just months before America entered WWII. The ship’s unimaginable conditions would later be described as a floating concentration camp. The family arrived in America in 1941, and rebuilt their lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The exhibition Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. at Cincinnati’s historic Union Terminal is one of the most significant and emotionally powerful exhibits to visit. It’s a rare opportunity to witness artifacts and stories from one of history’s darkest chapters, but it isn’t easy to process.
In each Circles of Humanity session, you will be led through conversations and activities that explore the human impact of the Holocaust. The sessions provide space to consider what it means to be an upstander in today’s world and how each of us can create ripples of humanity in our communities.
Whether you’ve studied the Holocaust for years or are encountering these stories for the first time, Circles of Humanity offers a way to engage with the exhibition that’s grounded in empathy and action.
Circles of Humanity will be offered once a month through the run of Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. Each session will take place at 2 p.m. in the Winds of Change Theater. That’s inside the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center located within Union Terminal.

This commemorative program features a chamber ensemble from the CSO and honors Holocaust survivor Henry Meyer, who rebuilt his life in Cincinnati after the war.

The repertoire reflects his artistic legacy and includes works once banned under the Nazi regime.
This program is presented in connection with Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away., now on view at Union Terminal. Audiences are encouraged to explore the exhibition to deepen their experience of remembrance.
This program is free to attend. A suggested donation of $15 helps sustain our mission and allows us to continue offering Holocaust education programs free of charge. You can make your optional donation at checkout.
