NANCY AND DAVID WOLF HOLOCAUST AND HUMANITY CENTER

The Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center (HHC) exists to ensure the lessons of the Holocaust inspire action today. HHC educates about the Holocaust, remembers its victims, and acts on its lessons. Through innovative programs and partnerships, HHC challenges injustice, inhumanity, and prejudice, and fosters understanding, inclusion, and engaged citizenship.

About The Panel

HHC’s museum, and educational and public programs are a venue for community members to engage in meaningful conversations. This panel was inspired by HHC’s work and the words of local Holocaust survivors and upstanders who engage in conversations to make a difference in the world.

The panel visually represents two individuals of different generations having a conversation with the potential to make an impact. The quotes in speech bubbles were excerpted from the quotes of two local Holocaust survivors, Zahava Rendler and Werner Coppel. Zahava Rendler stated, “You must never be silent because silence is, in itself, consent” and Werner Coppel said, “Stand up to hate and prejudice even when it does not affect you.” We hope that these quotes and the message “Speak Out for Humanity” will inspire viewers to consider the legacy of those who have spoken out for humanity in the past and consider how their own words and conversations can affect change today.

The panel’s design reinforces these themes, using bright colors and a rainbow border to provide inspiration to make a difference, while also highlighting the diversity of humanity.
