SUMMARY:Congregation Havurah Shalom & Georgetown Public Library Exhibit: A Reason to Remember: Roth\, Germany 1933–1942
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is suitable for grade levels 5–12 and adults. \nCongregation Havurah Shalom is now scheduling free docent-led youth group tours\, designed to help students engage with the material in an age-appropriate\, meaningful\, and thoughtful way. Educators\, youth leaders\, and homeschool groups are encouraged to reach out early to reserve their preferred dates. \nExhibit Details • Dates: April 13\, 2026 – May 21\, 2026 • Location: Georgetown Public Library 402 W 8th St.\, Georgetown\, TX • Admission: Free and open to the public • More Information: HolocaustExhibitGeorgetown.com \nThe Georgetown Public Library in partnership with Congregation Havurah Shalom of Georgetown\, TX will host the traveling exhibition “A Reason to Remember: Roth\, Germany 1933–1942” from April 13 through May 21\, 2026. This powerful exhibit from the Institute for Holocaust\, Genocide\, and Memory Studies at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst is a deeply moving one that brings the Holocaust into sharp\, personal focus through the true stories of five Jewish families who lived in the small German village of Roth—and whose lives were irrevocably changed by the rise of Nazism. \nUsing photographs\, documents\, artifacts\, and eyewitness testimonies\, the exhibition presents an intimate look at daily life in Roth and the step-by-step progression of restrictions\, persecution\, and deportation that ultimately led to the destruction of the community. The exhibit highlights the choices made by victims\, perpetrators\, resisters\, collaborators\, and bystanders—encouraging visitors to reflect on the consequences of prejudice and the importance of moral courage. \nThe final panels place Roth’s story within the broader historical context of the Holocaust and the experiences of other groups targeted by the Nazi regime. \n
