Description
On Thursday, December 6th at 6pm, Compass will present the grand opening of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s (USHMM) traveling exhibition “Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933-1945.” The more than 150 elected and appointed officials, and community leaders of Compass’ Ambassador Committee will welcome community members to this encore presentation and an evening of exhibit tours and opportunities to interact with Holocaust Survivors.
The exhibit, on loan from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, includes some 250 historic photographs and documents and will include several additional educational programs. The exhibit examines the rationale, means, and impact of the Nazi regime’s attempt to eradicate homosexuality that left thousands dead and shattered the lives of many more.
The exhibit is one of many events planned in preparation for Compass’ 25th year anniversary and is held in conjunction with USHMM’s 20th anniversary kick-off here in Palm Beach County.
This exhibit will be at Compass December 6, 2012 through January 25, 2013. For more information call 561-533-9699 or go to www.compassglcc.com
