THIS EXHIBIT OPENING IS POSTPONED AND WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE OPENING SOON

Please join us for the opening of HMTC's latest temporary exhibition: Sonja's Legacy. 

Sonja's Legacy is an unusual collection of artwork and images from the Holocaust. The colorful paintings and skillful drawings were created by Sonja Fischerova, a young girl from Prague while imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp from 1942-1944. She and her mother and sister, and later her Bauhaus-trained art teacher Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, were deported to Auschwitz and killed by the Nazis.

The images in Sonja's Legacy, like the words in Anne Frank's diary, provide a unique humanistic way for children and adults to learn about the Holocaust and tolerance. The colorful exhibit conveys hope and life. Yet it is set against the tragic end of her short life and of the last three generations of her family that had been rooted in Prague for centuries and the millions who perished in the Holocaust.

Sonja's Legacy Foundation (SLF) was founded by relatives of Sonja to educate and teach about the Holocaust using the art of Sonja Fischerova, her life and the lives of her relatives. This exhibition will be on display at HMTC through spring 2026 with the goal of sharing the deeply personal, moving, and tragic experiences of Sonja Fischerova with thousands of students and adults.

Light refreshments will be provided for the exhibition's opening.
