| While the seeds of the Holocaust were planted in Nazi Germany, life continued in Sidney, MT. This timeline showed how world events paralleled and eventually intersected with local happenings. | The Butterfly Project challenged children to make 1,500,000 butterflies to commemorate the lives lost in the Holocaust and speak out against genocide in the past, present and future. Several schools from the MonDak region took part and their butterflies were on display during the Schindler Exhibition. |

| The travelling exhibit from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was set up in the Center Gallery and included rare photos taken inside one of the concentration camps. | Another mini-exhibit examined the effect of the Holocaust on the lives of children in Germany and the rest of the world. |

| This mini-exhibit dealt with the terror and humiliation many Jews faced as they were torn from their homes, packed into train cars and shipped to concentration camps in Poland and other eastern European countries. The footprints on the floor represent how tightly packed the boxcar riders were during their multi-day journeys. | Oskar Schindler was not the only person to risk much to provide safe haven for Jews fleeing persecution in Germany and eastern Europe. This exhibit illustrated the risks and difficulties faced by those who were brave enough and able to help fugitive Jews and their families escape. |

| Tour groups were given the opportunity to stand on the footprints in the box car display to get a better idea of just how packed and uncomfortable the trains would have been. Here, a group from the Rau School takes a moment to reflect on this part of their experience. | The fourth-grade class from Sidney's elementary school also took a moment to reflect on the lessons we can learn from the Holocaust while experiencing a packed box car. |
