An exhibition about the Holocaust has opened in Havana, Cuba, the country’s first, but so far it is attracting more foreign visitors than locals. Initiated by ORT Cuba National Director William Miller two years ago, “We Remember – The Holocaust and the Creation of a Living Community” combines text, photographs and video to enable the island’s resurgent Jewish community to better understand its roots and for the general public to learn about the nadir of modern civilization. Knowledge of the Holocaust is next to non-existent among Cuba’s non-Jewish population and the exhibition has yet to draw wide-scale attention locally.

 

More than 50 passionate and committed Jewish leaders and activists from 15 different Ibero-American countries, gathered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the 2011 ROI Ibero-American Gathering. On the opening night, using colored markers, posters and candy, participants gave fellow participants a taste (also quite literally) of their homes.
