Opinion: Establishing permanent museum on Holocaust in San Diego County is a great idea [Opinion]
. Sponsored by the Chula Vista Heritage Museum, the South Bay Historical Society and the city of Chula Vista, it is now on display at the Chula Vista Civic Center Library. Named for Scheller’s mother, Ruth Sax, who survived three concentration camps, the exhibit presents a powerful look at the lives of 13 Holocaust survivors who relocated to the South Bay. It uses photos, documents and other artifacts to give visitors a sense of their journeys.
An author, speaker, educator and Chula Vista resident, Scheller writes, “We need a Holocaust museum in San Diego County, a permanent location with a research center and auditorium.” The editorial board agrees. Museums are invaluable windows into history — in this case, into one of the grimmest eras ever, which must be remembered so as not to be repeated. And with vibrant U.S. and Mexican Jewish communities, our border region is a perfect place. There are many causes worth supporting these days, but we encourage local philanthropists and members of every community to step forward and rally around the idea of a permanent Holocaust museum in San Diego County.
