Sanditen/Kaiser Holocaust Center
Honoring Mildred and Julius Sanditen & Herman and Kate Kaiser
| |
The Sanditen/Kaiser Holocaust Center at The Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art provides state-of-the-art displays, greatly enhancing the Museum’s Holocaust education capacity. The Center is the cornerstone of activity at The Museum and continued to bring in new visitors every day to learn why and how the Holocaust occurred and how to ensure it never happens again. Showcasing over 250 previously unseen artifacts donated by liberators and survivors, the horrifying events are recounted by five Holocaust survivors who made Oklahoma their home. Video first-hand accounts along with artifacts and documents help guide the visitor through history. The only Holocaust Center of its kind in the region also features one-of-a-kind art installations from local artists. The Museum’s Sanditen/Kaiser Holocaust Center honoring Mildred and Julius Sanditen & Herman and Kate Kaiser illuminates the effects of hate locally and worldwide. | |
