Description
  An ambitious new exhibition at Queensborough Community College’s renowned Kupferberg Holocaust Center offers a new way  to understand the enormity of Nazi genocide by documenting the staggering number of sites across Europe where Hitler’s murderous army carried out his Final Solution. “The Concentration Camps: Inside the Nazi System of Incarceration and Genocide” is an immersive multimedia exhibit that includes first-person accounts by local Holocaust survivors, hundreds of images from the world’s leading Holocaust museums and a wall-sized map that illustrates how much more extensive the system was than most people realize. Laura Cohen, the Kupferberg Center’s executive director, and Cary Lane, the exhibition’s curator, talk about the sobering installation, the two years of painstaking and emotional work that went into creating it, and why it matters 80 years later. * Visit the exhibition’s website to read text and see videos, images and other content. * Take an interactive 360-degree online tour. * Learn more about the Kupferberg Holocaust Center
