Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance will open its new special exhibit, “Rebirth after the Holocaust,” with a reception and lecture on October 6, 2016 beginning at 5:30 p.m. The exhibit will run through December 31, 2016.

The exhibit depicts an inspiring and untold chapter in Jewish history, when the uprooted and homeless Jewish survivors who were liberated from the Bergen-Belsen Camp emerged from the destruction of the Holocaust with a determination to rebuild their lives. Over the next five years Bergen-Belsen became the largest Displaced Persons camp in Germany, forming a vibrant center of rehabilitation, reconstruction, and rebirth.
