Survivors
Personal accounts by survivors of the Holocaust are powerful. They connect us not only person-to-person but also with an era in recent history that is difficult yet necessary to comprehend. Survivor testimony translates the fate ofthe unimaginably countless victims into a single person's feelings and thoughts.
Courage to Care is a major community outreach program for the benefit of regional communities in Australia. In its 12 highly successful showings in NSW, Western Australia & Queensland to date;- Armidale, Newcastle, Taree, Dubbo, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Bathurst, Wagga Wagga and Bowral, Moree, Liverpool, Courage to Care has drawn over 155,000 visitors, including 55,500 school students who attended racial tolerance workshops.
A Major Educational program is aimed at senior primary and high school students years 5-12 .
The program has been developed by professional educators , with "Living in Harmony" workshops and experiential learning, focussing on contemporary issues of discrimination, racism, bullying and antisemitism. For the education program we draw on a pool of over 60 highly-qualified people, including teachers, psychologists, academics and social workers.
Participation
Entry to the exhibition and associated workshops is free of charge . To encourage attendance by as many students as possible, Courage to Care covers the transport costs for public and Catholic High Schools to visit the exhibition.
Resource Material
Supporting the education component, a manual of resource materials is distributed to all schools participating in Courage to Care, to enable teachers to undertake follow-up programs. Principals are consulted about local issues and these issues are incorporated into the resource material.
Courage to Care aims
to promote understanding and harmony among all races and cultures , refute myths about the Jewish people, bring home the reality of the Holocaust and draw attention to the heroism of the “Righteous”. It urges personal responsibility – that one must speak up against racial discrimination and injustice whenever and wherever it occurs.
The Exhibition
uses the unique historical event of the Holocaust to teach one of its universal applications: the individual can make a difference . The stories of the “Righteous Among the Nations” – those non-Jews who risked their lives and the lives of their families to save Jewish lives – and Jews who were saved, give eloquent voice to this message. For the most part, rescuers were ordinary people, whose courage to care saved lives.
Exhibition Movie
Courage to Care exhibition recognises those heroic individuals who, in the face of risk to their own lives, helped save Jews from genocide during the Nazi Holocaust. These ordinary people of many faiths and of no faith had the courage to face death themselves at the hands of the Nazis by protecting Jews from being herded into trains and cattle trucks, starved, worked to death, gassed and shot, amongst other atrocities.

Choice of Venues
The choice of venues for our Exhibition takes much thought and preparation. The most important factors are a suitable Gallery, in a town which is a centre for the smaller towns in the area, and a timeslot which is suitable for our organisation, schools, and climate. We prefer a four week period, not to include school holidays or religious holidays,
An advance party visits the town and assesses the Gallery’s suitability, visits the Motels and samples them, and arranges terms. The Mayor is acquainted with our purpose and the local office of the Department of Education and Training provides a list of the local state schools in the area.
We look for a suitable venue for a preliminary evening to explain C2C to local school principals, dignitaries, service clubs, Ministers, Fraternal, and University (if one is nearby) to gain support. This visit takes place as soon as the date is set. Following this preliminary visit, the rest of the Organization swings into action.
