Holocaust exhibit to open at museum

FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP — The winner of three awards, "The Exhibit: A Journey to Life," is at the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County.

This multimedia, interactive exhibit teaches the lessons of the Holocaust through the life experiences of local Holocaust survivors, and fosters awareness and activism to address genocide and human rights abuses today, according to a press release.

These survivors share the journey that has taken them from a life lost to life today. Created by the staff and teachers of the Holocaust, Genocide and Human Rights Education Center at Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, and set within a historical time line, this exhibit uses the survivors' words, photographs, documents, and facts and other mementos to tell their story.

The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 31. The museum is at 310 Mount's Corner Drive, in the Mount's Corner shopping center, at the intersection of Wemrock Road and Route 537, Freehold Township.

Museum hours are Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The museum will be closed for Thanksgiving on Nov. 26. General admission is $5; or $3 for museum members and students with identification, and free to Holocaust survivors.
