ShadowLight and Southern NCSY Launch Hate Ends Now Tour
Replica WWII Cattle Car Travels Across Florida Promoting Holocaust Education
PALM BEACH, FL: On December 1, ShadowLight and Southern NCSY kicked off a 3-month long partnership with the Hate Ends Now tour. The tour will take ShadowLight’s multimedia exhibit, The Cattle Car: Stepping In and Out of Darkness, inside a replica WWII cattle car across the state with the goal of educating visitors about the Holocaust.
The tour began just two days ago and continues for 3 months, visiting schools, community centers, synagogues, and more. There will also be several opportunities for public viewings throughout the tour. Alongside The Cattle Car comes a Holocaust artifact exhibit, on loan from The Darrell English Collection, which features photographs, news articles, propaganda, and clothing from the WWII period. Visitors will have the chance to view the artifacts before or after taking part in the 30-minute, 360-degree, multimedia presentation which takes place inside The Cattle Car.
