An Immersive View of the history of Auschwitz

Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. brings together more than 700 original objects of great historic and human value; objects which were direct witnesses of the horrors of Auschwitz and the Holocaust. These objects serve as the guiding thread of a rigorous and moving account of the history of the German Nazi camp Auschwitz and its dwellers, both victims and perpetrators.

Through this daunting selection of objects from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum as well as more than 20 institutions and museums all over the world, the Auschwitz exhibition portrays the complex reality of the notorious camp, a universal symbol of the human tragedies that resulted from Nazi ideology, and the world of victims and perpetrators with a clear goal – to elucidate how such a place could come into being and dig into how its existence has determined our present worldview.

Most of these objects have never been shown to an audience on the West Coast before.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum chronicles the life and career of President Reagan on a sprawling, 100-acre Simi Valley campus. The museum's more than 100,000 square feet of Exhibition, including an Oval Office replica and sprawling views over the regions rolling hills, draws in history buffs and provides children with an often-interactive primer to America’s 40th president. The Reagan Library is one of two places in the nation where the general public can visit an F-117 Stealth Fighter on permanent display. Examining all the exhibits usually takes about three hours, though visitors can rest and refuel at Reagan’s Country Café or the Ronald Reagan Pub housed within the museum, which features sandwiches and beverages.
