Virtual Tour of the Oregon Holocaust Memorial
The idea for the Oregon Holocaust Memorial was conceived in 1994 by a local group of Holocaust survivors. Their goal was to honor the memory of those who were murdered in the Holocaust, and to educate people about the horrific consequences of hatred and discrimination.
This self-paced and self-guided tour virtual tour makes it possible for anyone to visit the Oregon Holocaust Memorial from wherever they are located. As with an in-person tour of the Memorial, this virtual experience provides an opportunity for remembrance and reflection.
GOOD TROUBLE
With John Lewis (February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020) in mind we asked our community to share the ways in which they have participated in “good and necessary trouble” over the years. The sentiments conveyed in the images represented in this digital exhibition portray a number of social movements – environmental, anti-war, social justice and others – and remind us that using our voices to foment positive change is a venerable Oregonian tradition. At OJMCHE we work to make connections from the past to the present in order to create a better future for all.
