"Many people never knew what women did during the Holocaust," said exhibit curator Barbara Wind, in The Record article. We thought it was important to show them this."
The exhibit includes photos, posters and information about women who "faced terrible circumstances and rose above it all in order to save other people," said Wind, according to The Record.
