Finding Light in the Darkness
Through stories and artifacts of Washington State Holocaust survivors, the museum’s exhibit engages visitors in this history and challenges them to consider how each person’s actions make a difference.
Visitors can interact with video testimony from local Holocaust survivors, explore artifacts that bring history to life, and learn about local students who are upstanders in their schools and communities. Spanish translation of the exhibit is available in the museum.

Drawn to Resist: Comics, Courage, and the Fight Against Nazism
Exhibit: August 16 – November 1, 2026
Before superheroes filled movie screens, Jewish creators confronted hate with something powerful and unexpected: comics. Created by the Holocaust Center for Humanity and premiering in Seattle, Drawn to Resist explores how Jewish comic artists combatted Nazism through art, storytelling, and courage. After its Seattle debut, the exhibition will travel nationwide, sharing this strong story of creative resistance and civic courage.
Funding for the exhibition was made possible, in part, by a grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. In addition, free and reduced tickets are supported by 4Culture. We are also grateful to Arlene Ehrlich and Judy and Krijn de Jonge, who believed in the vision for this exhibit.

Architecture of Atrocity
Genocide is preventable
Genocide doesn’t happen all at once. It’s a process that builds over time that can be interrupted at various points. Understanding this escalation helps us recognize the warning signs and take action to interrupt the process before it reaches the point of genocide.
