Absence of Humanity: The Holocaust Years

Overview

This permanent exhibition presents a detailed history of the events that led up to the Holocaust, the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis during World War II, and those events that took place in its wake. In this highly informative Holocaust museum exhibition, the narrative of this dark time in human history is put forth in the voices of those who survived and made new lives in Atlanta. Absence of Humanity: The Holocaust Years, 1933-1945 was designed by local architect and Holocaust survivor Ben Hirsch, and features historic photographs, personal memorabilia, family documents, and videotaped interviews with Atlanta-area survivors.

Reviews

  • “I loved the way this exhibition focused on the richness of Jewish life before and after the Holocaust, and not just on the atrocities of the war years.”

    R. Paige K. Visiting Graduate of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America 
  • “I have been to many Holocaust museums, both in and out of this country, and I love how The Breman tells the story we've all heard through the eyes and lives of Atlanta Area Survivors. ”

    Kevin Madrid, Atlanta Resident
  • “Seeing this exhibition and hearing one of the Survivor speakers really made the history come alive for me in a way that our classroom instruction couldn't. It was so cool!”
