New-York Historical Society Special Exhibit
When we must look to history to address the human rights crises that continue to plague our world, our next exhibit opening at the Museum is especially relevant today. This thought-provoking exhibition traces the indoctrination of citizens, both non-Jewish and Jewish, through words and images that were seen daily in Germany. Included is Hitler's original outline of a 1939 speech that he gave to the Reichstag about the "Jewish Question," announcements of mass meetings dictating the exclusion of Jews, anti-Semitic books and signs, as well as an original printing of the Nuremberg Laws, which laid the legal foundation for Hitler's Holocaust.
The materials on display, drawn from the collection of the Museum of World War II, Boston, will convey to visitors the dangers of ignoring or discounting anti-Semitic discourse, as well as of underestimating the role of propaganda in denying racial and religious groups their right to live without fear of violence. The exhibition also speaks to how New York and America's demographic changed substantially in the wake of European anti-Semitism, underscoring the old adage about the importance of history: how it is impossible to understand who we are today without knowing from where we came.
