The Santa Ana Police Department Welcomes the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s World-Renowned “The Courage To Remember” Holocaust Exhibit

As acts of intolerance continue to afflict society amid reports of anti-Semitic vandalism and bullying in California’s neighborhoods, many are left wondering, how can we best combat these dangerous trends of intolerance and hatred?

The Simon Wiesenthal Center’s “The Courage to Remember: The Holocaust 1933-1945” traveling exhibit strives to address this issue at its core, empowering people to educate themselves, learn from history and speak out against injustice as it comes to the Santa Ana Police Department’s Community Room from January 31-February 15, 2013.

The exhibit will commence with an opening ceremony on January 31, 2013 at 11:00am at:

Santa Ana Police Department
 Headquarters
Community Room
60 Civic Center Plaza
Santa Ana, CA 92702

“Two decades after we first designed this exhibit, its lesson is still vital to peace at home and abroad,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. “Its timeless messages reflect the words of Simon Wiesenthal: ‘Hope lives when people remember.'”

“The Courage to Remember: The Holocaust 1933-1945” traveling exhibit, produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance, presented by the Foundation for California, and made possible by a grant from SNCF, has displayed in over 16 countries over the past 20 years, in addition to a successful tour throughout California and the Southeast. More than 350,000 people have seen the exhibit in California alone.

The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, features more than 200 exclusive photographs that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world, offering amazing insight into the Holocaust through four distinct themes: Nazi Germany, 1933-1938; Moving Toward the “Final Solution,” 1939-1941; Annihilation in Nazi-occupied Europe, 1941-1945; and Liberation, Building New Lives.

“‘The Courage To Remember’ empowers young and old to learn from history, confront bigotry and fight for justice. This exhibit is not a luxury, it is a necessity in all communities,” said Dr. Alfred Balitzer, Chairman of the Foundation For California.

  • This may be a good idea since there are probably not more than 10 Jewish people left living in the incorperated city of Santa Ana. (That figure may be high) Our schools could also cut out one day of MLK or Chavez studies and devot more time to the Holocaust.)

  • Are they going to include an exhibit for the Arab guy that was murdered by the Jewish Defense League on 17th street, Santa Ana about 2o years ago? How about the Palestinian Concentration Camps?

  • I'm glad they are doing this exhibit because I believe Santa Ana residents need to be reminded of the horror of WWII BUT I agree with Mateo that a fair and balanced exhibit would also point out the evils done on both sides of these issues. We all pray for peace and better understanding should help.

  • Once again Jews are trying to rewrite history and will pretend that the entire WWII was about Jews and that the only Jews suffered.

    They will be silent about 10M Slavics, 2M Gipsys and virtually all European, African and Asian gentiles who proportionally to their population suffered equally.

    My farther was in the German labor camp in Hamburg.

    This exhibit is classical Zionist propaganda and shouldn't be believed until you will conduct your own research based on the non-Jewish data.

    Look, we still do not know the truth about Benghazi which happened only 3 month ago and Jews will clam that they have truth which happened 70 years ago.

  • Did Jews ever told you about Dutch famine of 1944

    The Dutch famine of 1944, known as the Hongerwinter ("Hunger winter") in Dutch, was a famine that took place in the German-occupied part of the Netherlands, especially in the densely populated western provinces above the great rivers, during the winter of 1944-1945, near the end of World War II. A German blockade cut off food and fuel shipments from farm areas to punish the reluctance of the Dutch to aid the Nazi war effort. Some 4.5 million were affected and survived because of soup kitchens. About 22,000 died because of the famine. Most vulnerable according to the death reports were elderly men.

    This is just one example of many which Jews will not tel you about because it would water down alleged Jewish holocaust.

    George Soros, Jew himself was stealing property from Jews who left Hungary during so called holocaust and that is how he got initial wealth -- Jews are quiet about that so it wouldn't show that they are same evil like anyone else..... do your own research.

    Please notice that the Following Democrat Jews are not considered the 1% by the OCCUPIERS like Teo.

    Do not trust Jews!...... always verify their story from non-Jewish sources.
