The Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center (HAMEC) in Elkins Park will celebrate its 65th anniversary with a cattle car exhibit called “Hate Ends Now” at Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel on Old York Road (Cheltenham Township) on April 14 from 7:00am – 11:00pm. 

The exhibit will be “housed inside an exact replica of a World War II-era cattle car,” according to a HAMEC email about the event. Inside, it will show a video with documentary evidence and survivors sharing their stories, as well as a collection of 25 artifacts.

Abington High School students will visit from 12:00pm to 1:00pm, followed by Cheltenham High School students from 1:00pm – 2:00pm. The exhibit will be open to the public between 2:30pm and 6:30pm.

The cattle car display is operated by Hate Ends Now, a nonprofit organization.

“It’s a powerful experience of what that was like,” said Lise Marlowe, HAMEC’s education director.
