曲主持.S. HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM EXHIBIT

正规博彩平台’s 布伦纳库 is one of 50 sites in the United States selected by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association to host the Americans and the Holocaust 巡回展. This important exhibit will be at 布伦纳库 from October 23 to December 4, 2026.

“As the host for one of only two stops for this exhibit in Illinois, 正规博彩平台 is committed to playing a consequential role in Holocaust education,布莱恩·麦基说, 博士学位, 瞿总统. “We are particularly honored to be scheduled as the final stop for the exhibition, following a national tour that will take over two years to complete.”

“In receiving this exhibit, we at QU commit to teaching and learning the enduring lessons of the Holocaust, beginning with the human capacity for inhumanity,麦基说。. “我们绝不能忘记.”

Americans and the Holocaust 是1,100-square-foot 巡回展 that addresses significant Holocaust-related themes in American history and examines multiple viewpoints of American people in the 1930s and 1940s – from Olympic athletes to government officials to Hollywood producers to relatives of people in Germany and Nazi-controlled areas.

凯蒂Kraushaar, dean of 布伦纳库, recently returned from training at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., a mandatory part of preparing to host the exhibit.  “It is humbling and inspiring to see the work that is being done at the Museum and to know that the host sites are being entrusted with sharing the work in our own communities,克劳斯哈尔说.  “We have to remember the history and recognize how important it is to have the proof – documents, 新闻短片, 照片, and personal stories – of what happened to millions of people, and how to prevent it from ever happening again.”

Kraushaar worked with the QU Advancement Department and several faculty members to submit the grant application to host the Americans and the Holocaust 旅行展览. Letters of support from Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, 城邦在QU, The Historical Society of Quincy and Adams County, 昆西圣母院, and Quincy Public Schools were influential in 正规博彩平台 being selected as a host site.

The grant application included direct support from Dr. Wendell Mauter, professor emeritus of history, Dr. Robert Manning, school of humanities dean and professor of philosophy, Dr. Padraic Rohan, assistant professor of history, and other members of the QU community. Their input was instrumental in assuring the grant review committee that QU could host the exhibit with maximum impact in the community.

“We will be reaching out to regional schools, 地方组织, and the general public to ensure access to the exhibit while it is here,克劳斯哈尔说.  "系列演讲", 电影, and discussion opportunities will be offered, in addition to lesson plans and resources for those who want to learn more.”  The grant also includes funds to support promotions and special events related to the exhibit.
