About the exhibit:
Hosted at Belmont University’s Lila D. Bunch Library, this exhibit explores the vast difference in the ways ordinary people displayed great courage or willful complicity in the face of devastating violence during the rise of Hitler’s Germany. Neighbors made choices. Some acted with bold courage, while others stood idle as friends, neighbors, and colleagues were victimized.

The main focus of the exhibit is to offer Holocaust remembrance and education for students, faculty and members of the greater Nashville community. The exhibition is centered around a set of 21 large posters, provided by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, that share the story of the Holocaust and the role various groups within a community played during the violence.
