A crane is pictured lowering a rusty remnant of the Holocaust onto tracks outside Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage. It’s a windowless German boxcar like those used to transport men, women and children to Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps. It’s among 700 Holocaust artifacts, most never before seen in the United States, being prepared for one of the largest exhibits ever on Auschwitz. The exhibit “” “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away” “” will be open May 8 through Jan. 3. A chilling reminder of the terrible thins that can happen even in our lifetime.
