A Student  Art Opening

The Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine promotes universal respect for human rights through outreach and education. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other events past and present we encourage individuals and communities to reflect and act upon their moral responsibilities to confront prejudice, intolerance and discrimination.

Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine

Students from Ashland District School will show their projects centered on tolerance and an understanding of humankind.

Michael Klahr Center

<p>An educator in Ashland, Maine, has been guiding her 7th grade students through a thoughtful and reflective exploration of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. Certain symbols and ideas have resonated strongly. Word clouds capture recurring themes of hope, fear, and resilience. Visual references, like the gate of Auschwitz, anchor their work in historical reality, while still allowing space for interpretation. A quote by Elie Wiesel, reflecting on the necessity of protest in the face of injustice, has emerged as a unifying thread, shaping both discussion and artistic expression. Through this process, the students are not only learning history; they are engaging with it, questioning it, and finding meaningful ways to bear witness. We are delighted that they will share their work at the opening on May 29th at 12:30 in the Michael Klahr Center.</p>
