“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
