The Traveling Exhibit
The Traveling Exhibit
The Traveling Exhibit is comprised of 30 free standing pull-up screens that can be set up in a variety of ways to adapt to the space available. Also included is an eight minute video of survivors from Roth describing their experiences living under Nazi rule. In addition, a Teacher Guide is included to assist teachers in preparing students for their visit to the exhibit and to help them process the content afterward. A descendant of one of these 5 families may also be available to speak at your venue.
The Traveling Exhibit is available to middle and high schools, universities, libraries, museums, houses of worship, and civic organizations for a modest rental fee. To date, it has traveled to more than 30 cities throughout the United States.

The Permanent Exhibit
The Permanent Exhibit
The permanent version of “A Reason to Remember: Roth, Germany 1933-1942” is on display at the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (IHGMS). The permanent and traveling exhibits provide the same informational content. To date, more than 30,000 individuals--many of them students-- have visited the permanent exhibit, participated in docent-led tours, and, at times, met with a survivor or descendant of one of Roth’s five Jewish families. This opportunity is also available to you. To visit IHGMS, make an appointment through the inquiry form on our Contact page.
