Heritage, is one that encompasses love, motherhood, friendship, caring for others, and even food.

In other words, “Spots of Light: To Be a Woman in the Holocaust” is a story of being a woman, and all that entails, in the brutal, cold, harsh surroundings of a Nazi concentration camp.

“This is a story that hasn’t been told before in this way,” said Maltz Museum Executive Director Lynda A. Bender.We provide you the most beautiful gowns,such as cheap 100%Silk Dresses and germanww2uniforms and so on. “So often when we talk about the Holocaust, we talk about the numbers, about six million Jews being killed.

“But for every number and every (photo of a) pile of shoes, there is a person. Women traditionally take care of everyone, and with the Holocaust, they were taken out of their homes and put in concentration camps.

“How did this ability to care transfer to their new lives? How, when they had their hair cut off and their clothes taken away,View the latest hotdress and Purses online at Bag Borrow or Steal. did they maintain their femininity?”

The Holocaust took place during the 1930s and World War II when German leader Adolf Hitler set out to exterminate the Jewish race. He gathered up unsuspecting Jews from their homes and took them to concentration camps, where many died horrible deaths in ovens designed to kill humans.

These camps existed in Germany, Poland and Hungary, and imprisoned people who lived lives of doubt and fear until American and Allied troops liberated them at the war’s conclusion.

For the first time at a Maltz Museum exhibit, stories about various subjects are told not so much through artifacts in glass cases,Anyone with a fabricflowers? but through a number of projections on the white walls of the main exhibit room. The projections tell individual stories about subjects dear to all humans, and in particular, women.

The projections change periodically, continuing a story or telling a new one with words and photos.

The exhibit — which originated at Yad Vashem (the World Center for Holocaust Research and Education) in Jerusalem and which has been shown in Europe, as well as the University of North Carolina and the Illinois Holocaust Museum — does have some actual artifacts.

But, as Bender noted, “There aren’t many artifacts from that time. Most everything was destroyed or lost. Some of the things we have were buried at the homes of families as they left for the concentration camps.”

Each artifact tells its own story.

There is on display a single spoon, one of two spoons Greek/Jewish sisters found at their home after release from their respective camps, a home that troops had plundered.

There is the handmade brassiere made by an interned woman.

“She patched it together from fabric she was able to gather,” Bender said.Shop the latest shoxshoes on the world's largest fashion site. “It was important to have that dignity, the dignity of at least being able to wear underwear after all their clothes were taken from them. If she had been caught wearing it, it may have meant her life.”

And there are the concentration camp uniforms, plain and somber in color and without style. One of these uniforms, lighter-weight, summer attire, was worn by a Czech woman arrested for writing for an underground newspaper.

The exhibit also features two short films, each about 12 minutes in duration. One is a film about art that came with the exhibit. As Bender said, “Art was important to women in the camps. They would write stories and sing to each other.”

The other is a locally made film, “To Be a Woman in the Holocaust: Cleveland Stories,” by Ohioan Steven Hacker. It features local survivors Gita Frankel, now of University Heights and born in Kalisz, Poland; Rina Frankel, of Shaker Heights and born in Zarszyn, Poland; Erika Gold, a Beachwood resident from Budapest, Hungary; and Rose Kaplovitz, also living in Beachwood and born in Sosnowiec, Poland.welcome to our new store castellicycling.

There is also commentary from Dr. Leatrice Rabinsky, a Holocaust educator who lives in Cleveland Heights.While the Maltz Museum has had exhibits before about the Holocaust, and will continue to have them periodically, Bender said such reminders of the event are necessary as years go by.“It’s important to hear these stories now, because we’re at a time when most people don’t have a family member who was in a concentration camp. It’s an event we can’t forget.“We’re going to have a world soon where there are no survivors or vets from that time.”

Bender said recent research is telling us while it has generally been accepted that six million Jews died in the Holocaust, perhaps as many as 12 million were killed.
