Sandra Scheller had poured so much of herself, her parents and her Jewish community into the Holocaust remembrance exhibit she’d been working on for 2020 that when the COVID-19 pandemic put it on hold, she was devastated.
“The exhibit was open for 67 days. I don’t think I have ever cried as much as I did not for me, but for those that supported this project,” she said of the initial shutdown.
One of the many things she’d learned from her parents, though, was creativity. So, she got creative. She got as much content as she could online. She shifted her focus slightly and began recording interviews with local Holocaust survivors and uploading those to the Chula Vista Heritage Museum’s YouTube channel. The reception the exhibition and its accompanying elements have received have been uplifting for her.
