How was the Holocaust possible, and what role did ordinary people play? These are key questions of the travel exhibition Some Were Neighbors by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM). Our article Working with the Exhibition Some Were Neighbors: USHMM and German Partners Co-Create New Holocaust Educational Models looks back at our work with the exhibit in Germany since 2019 and reflects its pedagogical approach. It is also accessible in German: “Arbeiten mit der Ausstellung »Einige waren Nachbarn«: Das USHMM und deutsche Partner entwickeln gemeinsam neue Holocaust-Bildungsmodelle“, both on the quarterly journal GedenkstättenRundbrief (nr. 211) which reflects the thematic work of memorial sites for victims of National Socialism.
Please see for more information Unsere Nachbarn, unsere Geschichte. Lokale Ansätze für Holocaust-Bildung and the German-language pages of the USHMM on our work with the exhibit ‘Einige waren Nachbarn’.
