SOME WERE NEIGHBORS | CHOICE, HUMAN BEHAVIOR, AND THE HOLOCAUST

Leu Art Gallery (Belmont University) / 1907 Belmont Blvd. September 8 - December 8th (Reception: September 10 6:00pm - 8:00pm)

Some Were Neighbors explores the vast difference in the ways ordinary people displayed great courage or willful complicity in the face of devastating violence during the rise of Hitler’s Germany. Neighbors made choices. Some acted with bold courage, while others stood idle as friends, neighbors, and colleagues were victimized.

The main focus of the exhibit is to offer Holocaust remembrance and education for students, faculty and members of the greater Nashville community. The exhibition is centered around a set of 21 large posters, provided by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, that share the story of the Holocaust and the role various groups within a community played during the violence.

This exhibit is presented in partnership with the Reverend Charlie Curb Center for Faith Leadership and made possible through generous support from the Maria & Bernie A. Pargh Family Foundation.
