What We Carry

Join docents from The Holocaust Commission of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater to learn about the stories of Holocaust survivors and view replicas of items they carried with them. Grades 9-12. Registration is required.

This program supports the "Americans and the Holocaust" exhibit on display at TCC/City Joint-Use Library from May 23 - June 27, 2025. 

Americans and the Holocaust: A Traveling Exhibition for Libraries is an educational initiative of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association. The traveling exhibition began by touring 50 U.S. libraries from 2021 to 2023. Due to widespread interest from libraries and communities across the country, a second tour was developed for 2024 to 2026.

Americans and the Holocaust was made possible by the generous support of lead sponsor Jeannie and Jonathan Lavine. Additional major funding was provided by the Bildners — Joan and Allen z”l, Elisa Spungen and Rob, Nancy and Jim; and Jane and Daniel Och. The museum’s exhibitions are also supported by the Lester Robbins and Sheila Johnson Robbins Traveling and Special Exhibitions Fund, established in 1990.
