My friend Mark (seen in the above photo) and I visited Denver's Mizel Museum yesterday afternoon to see an exhibit entitled Abide, a collection of photographic portraits of Holocaust survivors by University of Denver photographer Wayne Armstrong. In conjunction with Paul Docktor and DU's Holocaust Awareness Institute, the exhibit features photographs of survivors who live or lived in the Denver area, with a plaque next to each photo telling that person's story. It is a very moving exhibit. The remaining Holocaust survivors are fast disappearing from our midst, and this exhibit is a way to make sure that their stories will not be forgotten. I strongly recommend everyone see it, if possible. Check out the Mizel Museum's web site, which gives details on making an appointment to view it, at https://mizelmuseum.org/exhibit/abide/.
