A Holocaust museum in Florida has opened an exhibit over the police-involved killing of George Floyd that sparked protests and riots around the country.
Lisa Bachman, assistant director of the Holocaust Memorial Resource & Education Center in Maitland, said the exhibit was designed “so that people can come and look these individuals in the eye.”
“You don’t just see this exhibit,” she continued. “You feel it. The expressions and thoughts of each person photographed tells a story that has a very universal message. It is one that can heal and bring us together. It shows us we are not alone in our thinking.”
The news of the exhibit — titled “Uprooting Prejudice: Faces of Change” — sparked an immediate response with some condemning the museum for sending a message that “trivializes and distorts the Holocaust.” Ezra Levant, founder of Rebel News, said the exhibit “grotesquely implies that American police are Nazis.”
