HOLOCAUST MUSEUM
WORD OF FAITH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
"We are very humbled and honored to think God would choose us to do a project that could touch the hearts of men, and He deemed us worthy and chose us for a time such as this to be His spokesman to many parts of the world to confirm what happened to God's people during the Holocaust. We have no natural ability to do any of this, so we give God all glory, all honor, and all praise for what He has done through us. We are so grateful that God could trust us to flow through us to do His work to touch His people, and to show His honor and our honor for them. "

TABERNACLE: INNER COURT
Two prominent Jewish figures came asked if the students could make an exact scale replica. Originally the pieces that are now gold were plastic. Buying gold was too expensive so they did a science experiment to convert plastic to gold. The fabric pieces were hand sown and the girls were even sewing as they were trAveling to Dallas. This is just the inner wall, the big tabernacle took 6 months. The older boys in college had notebooks of drawings and number figures along with using the computer to do 3d dimensions.
CHILDREN OF THE HOLOCAUST
OVER 1.5 MILLION CHILDREN WERE PERISHED IN THE HOLOCAUST VICTIMIZED, ORPHANED, HIDDEN, AND RESCUED
Everyone takes part in making the museum. From styrofoam sculptures to oil paintings. This begins in kindergarten along with students who are now in college still participating. Every piece in the exhibit is hand picked and chosen to tell the story and to bear witness to the history and the evidence of the Holocaust and the Jewish people.
TOYS
The younger children had complete most of the work in the sections "children of the holocaust". It is amazing the skills that even the youngest children have. They really understand what happened and their testimonies about why they chose a certain piece was so heartfelt.
Stripped from their childhood, thousands of Jewish children were forced to give up everything. These were toys prior to Holocaust.

CHILDREN'S CLOTHING
"I had never seen such work from students of their age. To put it mildly I was floored. It showed me what could be done when teachers and students work together and endeavor together to give creative expression to what they study."
Michael Berenbaum

VOYAGE TO DOOM

- Revealed unwillingness of the nations
- 938 Passengers
- Captain Gustav Schroeder
- "We can only hope that some hearts will soften and some refuge will be found" -New York Times
- Four nations in Europe took in the refugees; Great Britain, Netherlands, Belgium, and France
Revealed the unwillingness of the nations of the world, particularly the United States, to respond to Jews cry for help. Roosevelt ignored the cry from the passengers as did other places. Though some found refuge, many did not. They stayed on boat as long as possible, but food and water became scarce. Under the boat there is a painting of a man who was 12 and was on the boat. The students and other have met him and he his a generous donator to the museum.
"AMERICA WAS OUR LAST GREaT HOPE"
400 RABBIS MARCHED TO D.C. TO PLEAD WITH PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO DO SOMETHING TO SAVE THE EUROPEAN JEWS
The entire congregation, not only students worked on this piece. Many stayed up days and nights to get this project completed. This has to be the most powerful piece in the whole museum. Parents had to supervise the older students because power tools were involved with this project. Each person was assigned to make something. Hats, jackets, shoes, etc. the television beside the piece had Pictures of that day.
Rabbi Eliezer Silver pleaded with the president to help save their people. Millions had already died and they came on their holiest day to ask for a special agency to be created to save the remainder of the Jewish nation in Europe. After political pressure and embarrassment, the president reluctantly allowed the War Refugee Board that rescued 20,000 Jews, but to late for the 6 million who had lost their lives.

THE LAST WITNESSES
REPLICAS OF SHOES
The last witnesses:
These are all handmade replicas from those who perished in the Holocaust. The Jewish poet Moses Schulstein wrote "I saw a mountain". Excerpt from poem "And because we only made of stuff and leather/ And not of blood and flash, each one of us avoided the hellfire.
Each pair of shoes represent a human life that was taken, a life that was stripped away by the nazi regime.

WARSAW GHETTO STREET
THE CLOSED GHETTO CUT OFF THE JEWS FROM THE POPULATION AT LARGE
"This prevented Jews from coming into contact with non-Jews and left them in a state of isolation, insulation, and choking congestion. In one stroke the livelihoods of workers who had been integrated into the production process of the city and self employed craftsmen whose businesses were outside the confines of the ghetto were wiped out." -Israel Gutnam, survivor of ghetto
