Holding Hope
Henry's testimony will be available beginning January 2025.
A Special Photography Exhibit
Hundreds of survivors began new lives in Cincinnati in the years during and after the Holocaust, each rebuilding in a unique way. Whether they arrived as young refugees during WWII or much later in life, each of these individuals became part of our community’s vibrant social fabric. Their stories help us understand the resilience of the human spirit and the power we each hold to become the best of humanity today.
Holding Hope: Stories of Survival During the Holocaust shares many of these stories, some being told for the first time, along with portraits taken by Madeleine Hordinski.
Open Now Through June 7 at UNION TERMINAL.
This free exhibition is presented in the Ruthven and Mallery galleries now through June 7.
This exhibit was created with the support of
Carry Hope Forward
Holding Hope: Stories of Survival During the Holocaust is a book that shares many of these stories, some being told for the first time, along with photographs taken by Madeliene Hordinski. Reserve your book now by filling out the online payment form here.
