“I would hope that by viewing the photographs and learning from these thought-provoking stories, visitors will think about the choices that can bemade in their lives every day. As Romeo Dallaire once said, ‘The narrative of the ‘ordinary hero’ might sound inaccessible formany. It is reasonable that humans could doubt their own courage in the face of great and grave danger. But discovering this impulse — our humanitarian impulse — is far from implausible.’” -Curator LeoraKahn
