RHONA AND BRUCE CARESS GALLERY And Still I Write: Young Diarists on War and Genocide

Visitors are challenged to engage with one another, and the outside world, to understand the choices that a single person can make to turn the tide and combat hatred, and to answer four questions: What are human rights?, How do atrocities happen?, Who stood up for human rights?, and What can we do?

The first of its kind in the United States, this exhibition tells the story of young people who wrote diaries during the Holocaust, World War II, and contemporary wars and genocides in Bosnia, Iraq and Syria. We invite you to read their words and listen to what they have to say.
