I do and what can we do?” 
Mayerfeld says. 
“You deal with ignorance 
by education,” he says, noting 
that the Zekelman Holocaust 
Center has provided training 
to 1,000 teachers and that 
students visit from as far as 
Grand Rapids, Michigan’s 
thumb region and the Upper 
Peninsula.
The need for relevant, 
impactful exhibits is 
underscored by the recent 
increase in antisemitic 
incidents in the U.S., as well 
as research that indicates 
many younger Americans are 
unfamiliar with the Holocaust. 
According to a 2020 
national survey conducted 
by the Claims Conference 
(the international nonprofit 
organization that helps 
Holocaust survivors receive 
financial compensation from 
Germany), 63 percent of 
Americans born between 1981 

and 2009 do not know that 
6 million Jews were murdered 
in the Holocaust; 36 percent 
think there were 2 million or 
fewer victims. Almost half can’t 
name a concentration camp or 
ghetto.
“Cultural institutions help to 
stimulate learning and educate 
in interesting ways. They give 
people something to think 
about and may inspire them to 
have a new thought or to act,
” 
says Mooradian. 
The Zekelman Holocaust 
Center is investing $31 
million for development and 
maintenance of the new exhibit. 
Ralph Applebaum Associates 
(RAA) of New York is the 
project designer, and Design 
and Production Inc. (D & P) of 
Virginia is the exhibit fabricator. 
Neumann/Smith Architecture 
is the architectural firm, and 
Sachse Construction, also 
locally based, is the contractor.
“The current exhibit has been 

a hallmark of our Center for 
more than 15 years. I encourage 
everyone to see it once more 
before May 25,
” Mayerfeld says. 
“The transformation of the 
physical space will introduce 
a new and exciting era that 
gives our local survivors the 
first and last word in the 
recounting of the history of the 
Holocaust, honors their legacy 

and transfers memory to future 
generations,
” Mayerfeld said 
when announcing the project. 
During construction of the 
new exhibit, which begins on 
May 25, the Holocaust Center 
will be open for public events 
and temporary exhibitions. 
Virtual learning will continue 
for teachers, students and adult 
groups.
