This past weekend marked the opening of the powerful exhibition, Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. at historic Union Terminal. After just two days, the exhibition has already been met with meaningful public interest, thoughtful attendance, and extensive local, regional, and international media coverage. That coverage helps us extend the reach of this exhibition beyond our walls, reminding the broader community of the importance of memory, education, and vigilance in the face of antisemitism and hatred.

Each of these pieces offers a different lens to understand the exhibition and its impact, from historical context and educational value, to emotional resonance and local community reactions.
The cultural significance of the media’s role in shining a light on this exhibition isn’t lost on us.
During World War II, media coverage played a critical role in shaping public awareness, both in revealing and, at times, failing to fully expose the extent of the atrocities unfolding in Nazi-occupied Europe.
Today, when journalists and news outlets dedicate space, time, and empathy to telling these stories, they are part of a long legacy of truth-telling. Their work ensures the lessons of the Holocaust are not lost or distorted, and that the warning signs of hatred and dehumanization are still clear to us all.
But reading about the exhibition online or in print, hearing it on the radio, and watching it on TV, is only the first step. Walking through it, standing in front of the preserved objects, and absorbing the powerful, heartbreaking stories adds another layer of understanding, one that is emotional and profoundly human.
We invite you to join us throughout the run of Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. at historic Union Terminal and visit the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center to learn, reflect, and act to make sure these stories aren’t forgotten. You can book your tickets here.
