To help educate youngsters and others about the Holocaust and the disastrous consequences of racial intolerance, a Jericho High School graduate who earned a master’s degree in human rights and international politics has joined a program called “Shadow Light” which travels across the country on a mission of "immersive experience" and education. The program uses a replica of a “cattle car” used to convey Holocaust victims to concentration camps—and murder—throughout Nazi occupied Europe during World War II. Inside the cattle car, an “immersive” 360 degree video with audio tells the stories of some of the victims of the murderous events that befell Holocaust victims during their imprisonment in the camps. Tara Silberg of Jericho is the lead educator of the program; she describes the cattle car as an opportunity for students and others to obtain a glimpse of what Holocaust victims experienced during their incarceration in concentration camps. “We hope this exhibit provides insight into the end result of racial intolerance not just to Jewish visitors but to those of many faiths,” says Silberg. “Holocaust education has a universal message.” Inside the car, survivors tell their stories in a video with audio, describe their suffering in captivity
and their eventual liberation. So far, the Shadow Light exhibit, begun in 2019, has traveled to cities throughout the United States and is about to make its way around Canada. Typically, the exhibit is based at schools, community centers, and religious centers. Silberg says the exhibit aims to expose not just Jewish youngsters, but those of many faiths, to the horrific effects of irrational racial hatred. Silberg said that further information about the Shadow Light exhibit is available from the program’s executive director, Jordana Lebowitz at myshadowlight.org.
