Holocaust exhibit on display in Pronghorn Published April 12, 2010 By Senior AirmanVanessa Sanford 90th Civil Engineer Squadron F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- An exhibit will be on display throughout next week in the Pronghorn Center detailing the hardships in the labor and concentration camps during World War II. The week-long exhibit shows survivor stories and consists of 54 posters depicting the stories of horror, oppression, liberation, sorrow, persecution, joy and redemption of the Holocaust. This is a learning experience for people of all ages, but keep in mind this exhibit contains graphic material that may not be suitable for young viewers. This exhibit is on loan from the local synagogue, Mount Sinai, located at 2610 Pioneer Ave. For the last few years, this congregation attended this event, making the Holocaust days of Remembrance more memorable to all who are present. Last year, members attended the ceremony at the chapel and lit the candles of remembrance. This display will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. On Friday the exhibit will be open until 10 a.m. the doors will then re-open at 11:30 a.m. for a luncheon and inspirational speech. At Friday's luncheon, speaker, Eric Cahn, a Holocaust survivor who was rescued by the French resistance, will share his experiences from World War II. The luncheon will consist of kosher sandwiches and dessert and ends at 1 p.m. The committee then invites members to join them at 1:30 p.m. for a Jewish Hashoah service in the Frontier Chapel. The speaker for this service is Shira Michaels from Mt. Sinai Synagogue in Cheyenne. The congregation will be showing nightly movies and documentaries from World War II and the Holocaust during the week for anyone who wishes to attend. This one week of remembrance may not be enough when considering all of those who were lost. This week is set aside so that the generations will remember and never let such atrocities occur again. There are few survivors still alive today. And we, today's generation, can remember the sacrifice, loss and horror of the past to ensure history does not repeat itself. It is our responsibility as human beings to never turn a blind eye to such horrors.
