Starting Sunday, June 18, the Augusta Jewish Museum will be partnering with the Kennesaw State University’s Museum of History and Holocaust Education to present a traveling exhibit about the significance of World War II.
According to the Augusta museum, the display will explore the war and its weighty global impact by encountering various individuals who experienced the different effects of the war and the Holocaust.
From the “WWII: War that Changed the World” exhibit, attendees will learn about people’s struggle to survive increasingly oppressive and dangerous conditions in Europe throughout the World War, as well as new opportunities to work and fight.
Launching at 2 p.m. for a special introductory program with limited available seating, the exhibit will normally be open on weekends from noon to 3 p.m. until August 11.
Made possible by a 2018 grant from the Breman Foundation based in Atlanta, the traveling presentation was created especially with the needs and interests of older adults in mind.
The exhibit is accompanied by a gallery or audio guide and a series of traveling trunks, which feature books and films along with discussion guides ideal for senior and community centers.
