Next week, in honor of Human Rights Day, entrance to the Holocaust Museum Houston will be free.
On Tuesday, December 10, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., entry will be free. The museum says it will include a discussion with a local Holocaust survivor, admission to its galleries, and two of its major temporary exhibitions. At 2:00 p.m., the conversation with Holocaust survivor Ruth Steinfeld starts.
The museum may be found in Houston’s Museum District at 5401 Caroline St.
Admission includes two exhibitions, including “Facing Survival” by David Kassan. It includes the artist Kassan’s realistic sketches and paintings of Holocaust survivors. Since July, his temporary show has been on display, and it will close on January 5.
The other highlighted temporary show is “Caribbean Indigenous Resistance/Resistencia Ind gena del Caribe Ta no Vive!” The history of the Ta nos, the native inhabitants of the northern Caribbean islands, is presented. The exhibition will close on January 12 after opening in November.
Human Rights Day commemorates the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948. It was established following World War II, when Germany’s Nazi state purposefully killed over 6 million Jews and 5 million other non-Jewish minorities. Regardless of race, color, creed, sex, language, political or other beliefs, national or social origin, property birth, or any other status, the document outlines 30 inherent rights for all individuals.
