Cross post from Jewish Group.

Tickets, depending on the day is $40ish, limited numbers daily.

I do not know if the exhibition is going elsewhere in the US.


snip-An exhibition the world needs you to see. Be a witness.
Through this daunting selection of more than 500 original artifacts from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland, as well as more than 20 institutions and museums all over the world, Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. portrays the complex reality of the notorious camp while sharing firsthand stories from those who survived, and those who perished.

These remarkable artifacts range from:

Concrete posts that were part of the fence of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp
Fragments of an original prisoners’ barrack from the Auschwitz III-Monowitz camp
A gas mask used by the concentration camp officers
Personal items including shoes, clothing, children’s dolls, eyeglasses and suitcases
When guests enter the exhibition, they will confront one of history’s darkest periods… but they will also be part of an ongoing remembrance and will leave bearing the weight of society’s responsibility to combat hate and evil everywhere.

Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. is hosted at Union Terminal by Cincinnati Museum Center and the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center. The exhibition was created by Musealia in cooperation with the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum."


I am planning on going in early February 2026.
