An immersive traveling Holocaust education exhibit will visit three North Texas universities the week of April 20, offering students and the public an opportunity to engage with history and reflect on the consequences of hate.
The Hate Ends Now Mobile Holocaust Exhibit and Original Artifact Collection features a replica World War II-era cattle car, similar to those used to transport Jews and other targeted groups to concentration and death camps. Inside, visitors experience a 360-degree multimedia presentation designed to convey the realities of deportation during the Holocaust.
The exhibit, which has appeared at the White House, Times Square and major league sporting venues, is presented by Mothers Against College Antisemitism and Friends of the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission as part of a statewide effort to increase awareness of antisemitism on college campuses.
Organizers say the exhibit aims to connect historical events with present-day challenges, particularly as antisemitic incidents continue to rise. Through immersive storytelling and access to historical artifacts, visitors are encouraged to reflect on personal responsibility and the role of community in confronting hate.
“The cattle car offers lessons that are essential to building understanding and ensuring the lessons of history are not forgotten,” said Keneth E. Goldberg, chairman of the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission. “This exhibit brings students face-to-face with a history that cannot be understood at a distance. When that history becomes real, it changes how people think about responsibility and community.”
The exhibit will be on display:
- April 20–21 at the University of North Texas, Denton, on the Library Mall lawn behind Hurley Building
- April 22 at the University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, outside the Crow Museum of Asian Art
- April 23 at Texas Wesleyan University, Fort Worth, Kay Granger Mall
