Florida High School Hosts Holocaust Exhibit

Seventeen-year-old Adam Mendelsohn from Edgewater High School in Orlando has successfully raised over $30,000 to host a Holocaust exhibit featuring a replica of the cattle cars used during the Holocaust. The exhibit aims to provide a more immersive educational experience for students, allowing them to engage deeply with history rather than merely reading about it. Last week, the exhibit attracted over 1,000 visitors, many of whom expressed profound emotional responses, with some leaving in tears. Rabbi Daniel Nabatian highlighted the importance of such educational efforts in light of rising anti-Semitism, particularly in the context of recent global events. Adam collaborated with the nonprofit Hate Ends Now to facilitate the exhibit, which includes various Holocaust artifacts and encourages discussions about hate and indifference. The exhibit will continue to travel to other high schools and Rollins College, further extending its educational impact.
