Poster Sets
"Some were Neighbours: Choice, Human Behaviour, and the Holocaust"
This set of posters is based on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's exhibition "Some were Neighbours". The exhibition addresses one of the central questions of the Holocaust: how did it happen? The exhibition examines the role of ordinary people in the Holocaust, and the variety of motives that influenced individual choices. These influences often reflect fear, indifference, antisemitism, career concerns, community standing, peer pressure, or chances for material gain. The exhibition considers individuals who did not give in to the opportunities and temptations to betray their fellow human beings, reminding us that there is an alternative to complicity in evil acts - even in extraordinary times. The exhibition was created and curated by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The posters are available in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Kiswahili, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish in A1, 2x3, and roll-up format. Each set includes 23 different posters.
