Dear Friends and Neighbors,
On Friday, March 17th, I spoke at a ribbon cutting for the “groundbreaking interactive traveling education museum exhibit that teaches about the Holocaust and focuses on identity, bridging, belonging, and building community.”
This exhibit is a collaboration among Common Circles, the White Plains School District and White Plains Democratic District Leader Ellen Berger.
The exhibit will be in three schools – White Plains High School, Highlands and Eastview. The opening exhibit and ribbon cutting was held at White Plains High School.
Two highlights of the exhibit include:
- Dimensions in Testimony for USC Shoah Foundation, where participants can ask questions that prompt real-time responses from pre-recorded video interviews with Holocaust survivors and other witnesses to genocide
- World-renowned artist, Bayete Ross Smith’s series entitled “Our Kind of People” took photos of individuals in the White Plains community
This is a must see exhibit with its pioneering interactive advanced filming techniques, specialized display technology and next generation natural language processing to create interactive biography.
Please forward this E-News to family and friends who may be interested in this information.
Sincerely,
