One Thread, Six Million Lives Exhibit

Central Library | January 5 – February 2

Visit Central Library’s Shaikh Family Welcome Gallery to see an exhibit that shares the story of survivor Wolf “Willie” Woznica — a young tailor from Będzin, Poland. His story echoes the fate of millions whose names, families, and futures were erased by hate. 

This exhibit is supported by the Balaban Family, the Krell Family, Viewpoint Foundation, and donors to Calgary Public Library Foundation's Human Rights and Holocaust Education Fund.
