Learn more about choices of consequence during WWII. Engage in a special exhibit tour, workshop, and speaker at Jewish Museum Milwaukee in partnership with the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center
This exhibit spotlights the extraordinary allyship for the Jewish people by non-Jews in Denmark during World War II. The events and actions that saved roughly 95% of Danish Jewry will be brought to light through artifacts, personal accounts, and a photographic series, Resistance and Rescue taken by Judy Glickman Lauder. Designed to highlight the choices available to governments to be upstanders in the face of prejudice and discrimination, this exhibit demonstrates the importance of governmental policy in the protection of its people.
