Holocaust Memorial Offers Special Tours
In conjunction with Belmont University hosting “Some Were Neighbors: Choice, Human Behavior, and The Holocaust”, a traveling exhibit on loan from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), Nashville’s Holocaust Memorial is offering guided tours highlighting issues raised by the exhibit.
The exhibit is open now and runs through December 8th. According to the event website (https://www.belmont.edu/faith-...), “this exhibit explores the vast difference in the ways ordinary people displayed great courage or willful complicity in the face of devastating violence during the rise of Hitler’s Germany. Neighbors made choices. Some acted with bold courage, while others stood idle as friends, neighbors, and colleagues were victimized.”
Docent-led tours of the Memorial are available on the following dates and times:
Thursday, November 13, 1:00 pm
Saturday, November 15, 1:00 pm
Monday, November 24, 10:00 am
Monday, December 1, 10:00 am
Saturday, December 6, 1:00 pm
Tuesday, December 9, 10:00 am
For security reasons RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Additional dates can be arranged with two days’ notice. Saturday and Sunday tours are offered in the afternoons only. Email nashvilleholocaustmemorial@gmail.com to schedule a tour or join one of those listed above.
As mentioned in the October Jewish Observer, the Memorial continues to work with MTSU History Professor Ashley Valanzola and students in her “Holocaust Justice and Memory” class to update its self-guided video tour. To cap the project, half the students will present the new tour, while the other half will plan and promote the tour and a reception at the JCC. The public is invited on Sunday, December 7th at 11:00 am. Email the Memorial at the above address to make a reservation.
Widowers & Widows Social Group
Group of Jewish widowers and widows who have lost his/her spouse recently or in the distant past. This is not a dating service or a meet/meat group but a group of adult individuals who are interested in doing things with a group of people who have been through a similar loss as opposed to doing things by him/herself. We meet for lunch on the 2nd Monday of each month at various restaurants.
