"The world is round. Do good and God will send good back to you. Always strive to give, to respect, to contribute and to add good to the world," Holocaust survivor Smadar Nicole Shaulof, who was born in 1938 in Tunis, said.
"I am from the generation of Holocaust survivors. We founded the State from scratch and passed this most precious gift on to the younger generation. Guard it fiercely," Meir Reichardt, who was born in 1930 in Pruszków, Poland, said.
"Continue to be young and fun as you are now. Love everyone and everyone will love you back," said Dina Peled, born in 1942 in Murafa, Ukraine.
The opening ceremony will be attended by founder Dr. Mike Evans and president Michael Evans Jr.
Each quote includes a photograph of the survivor and a QR code that gives access to his or her personal story. The 40 statements were chosen by the members of the Dolls and Dreams group for Holocaust survivors.
Michal Fundaminsky, a therapist who works with the group, said, "We founded the group about 12 years ago to aid Holocaust survivors living in the city. , despite the suffering and difficulties that life brought to them, with a lot of wisdom, life experience, respect, and values, they managed to discern what is really important, to see and learn to appreciate the good in everything. The purpose of the exhibition, as its name 'The Power of Words' reflects, is that words can cause people to stop for a moment and make a change, and precisely in the stormy days we are going through."
Daniel Voiczek, CEO of the museum, said, "We are happy and excited to host such a unique exhibition. We have all asked ourselves many times how it is possible to survive an impossible inferno and continue to grow and strengthen in life. In my opinion, the exhibition gives us the answer to this. The members of the group, each of whom has a difficult life story, are optimistic and special people who are passionate about life are giving us a gift and it is important to hear from them what guides them in life today. It is important to note that the Friends of Zion museum works a lot on behalf of Holocaust survivors in Israel and around the world, and the exhibition is another step in this activity."
