The Honors College took its first trip since 2020 with 11 students, 3 staffers, and one guest. We traveled nearly 500 miles (round trip) in an SAU bus. Our first stop was the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. It hosts a positive exhibit spanning the worst to the best of human nature.

These are the actual uniforms worn by survivors
The Museum emphasized the role of "upstanders" or people who actively worked against the Nazi Holocaust. Also emphasized was the positive response after World War II evinced by the UN's Declaration of Universal Rights (below)
We also saw the interactive hologram where Israel (Izzy) Starck answered live questions from the audience. Here is a video (below) of another survivor who made a hologram through Shoah, Pinchas Gutter.
Future blog entries will cover our visits to the 6th Floor Museum and the Perot Science Museum
