HOUSTON, June 30 (Xinhua) -- A senior member of Holocaust Museum Houston (HMH) Board of Trustees said Saturday the museum will cooperate with Chinese partners for exhibition reflecting Chinese people's suffering during the World War II.
Mark Mucasey, current member and former chair of the HMH Board of Trustees, made the remarks in a meeting with Sun Zhijun, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee at the temporary facility of HMH in Houston.
Mucasey told Sun that the renovation and expansion of HMH will finish next summer, and an exhibition on Chinese people's suffering during the WWII will be held when HMH reopens to the public.
Sun said he believes the museums in China are willing to strengthen cooperation with HMH, especially the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, in a bid to memorialize those who were killed in the Nanjing Massacre by the Imperial Japanese Army in and around the then capital of China, Nanjing, after it fell on Dec. 13, 1937.
HMH officially opened in 1996, which is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, remembering the six million Jews and other innocent victims and honoring the survivors' legacy.
