The Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance has opened a new exhibit that looks at the lives of the children who were victims of the Holocaust.

The three-part exhibit, which is titled "Every Child Has a Name," will be on display from now through March 18 at the museum.

The special exhibition features reproductions of artwork created by children at a Nazi concentration camp, a travelling exhibit from a Holocaust museum in Jerusalem about children's lives before and during the Holocaust, and a portion of the 1.5 million pennies that were collected as a part of a memorial project by Dallas students to honor the 1.5 million children who were killed during the Holocaust.

"'Every Child Has a Name' leaves visitors with a transformational and experiential understanding of how children in the midst of incomprehensible inhumanity hold onto the very essence of what others savagely wanted to take away — not just each Jewish child's life, also the sweetness of their childhoods," said Alice Murray, the museum's president and CEO, according to a press release.

The exhibit is free with regular admission to the museum. To find out more information about the exhibit and the museum, visit the Dallas Holocaust Museum/Center for Education and Tolerance website.
