Clark County is humbled to host an exhibit curated by the Nevada Center for Humanity’s Nevada Holocaust Museum. The exhibit, titled The Choices of Man Through the Lens of the Holocaust, will be on display in the rotunda of the Clark County Government Center (500 S. Grand Central Parkway) today – January 29, 2026.
This exhibit examines the moral and ethical decisions individuals and societies faced during the Holocaust. Through photographs, narratives, and personal stories, it invites viewers to consider the lasting impact of those choices. The central theme of the exhibit is the importance of being an upstander—someone who chooses to act when they witness injustice, discrimination, or harm, rather than remaining silent. It encourages personal reflection on how everyday actions can uphold human dignity and foster a more just society.
“I am proud to have the Nevada Center for Humanity’s Holocaust Museum being displayed at the Clark County Government Center,” said Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft. “This important exhibit will provide visitors with a powerful opportunity to learn, reflect, and honor the memory of those who were murdered and those righteous individuals who stepped in to help.”
“I’m grateful to Clark County for ensuring our exhibit has such a prominent home,“ said President for the Nevada Center for Humanity Heidi Straus. “Our display highlights the righteous upstanders from 55 countries who stepped up to help Jewish people in need of refuge. Through artifacts and first-hand accounts, participants will gain a deep knowledge of the event that claimed 6 million Jewish lives between 1933 and 1945.”
The public and members of the media are invited to a reception marking the opening of the exhibit. Commissioner Naft, Heidi Straus, and Holocaust survivor Stephen Nasser will be speaking. The reception is Monday, November 3rd from 6 pm – 7:30 pm in the rotunda of Clark County Government Center.
