LAS VEGAS (LVN) — Clark County is hosting a public educational exhibit examining moral responsibility, civic courage, and the consequences of silence in the face of injustice, county officials announced.
The exhibit, “The Choices of Man Through the Lens of the Holocaust,” curated by the Nevada Center for Humanity’s Nevada Holocaust Museum, is on display in the rotunda of the Clark County Government Center, located at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway. It will remain open to the public through Jan. 29, 2026.
County officials said the exhibit explores the moral and ethical decisions faced by individuals and societies during the Holocaust, a period marked by systematic persecution and genocide. Through historical photographs, firsthand narratives, and personal accounts, the display illustrates how choices—both action and inaction—had profound and lasting consequences.
A central theme of the exhibit is the concept of being an “upstander,” defined as someone who chooses to act when witnessing injustice, discrimination, or harm, rather than remaining silent. The exhibit challenges visitors to reflect on how ordinary decisions can either contribute to harm or help defend human dignity.
According to Clark County, hosting the exhibit aligns with ongoing efforts to promote education, remembrance, and civic responsibility within the community. By situating the exhibit in a public government space, officials aim to make the lessons of history accessible to a broad audience, including residents, students, and visitors conducting county business.
The exhibit is free to view during regular business hours at the Government Center. County officials encouraged the public to attend and engage with the material, noting that the themes extend beyond history and remain relevant in addressing contemporary issues of intolerance and social responsibility.
