The current Ukrainian flag has been in use since 1848 and officially adopted in 1918. It was outlawed when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union and was brought back in 1991. So the Titanic Ukrainians would have recognized that flag, even though Ukraine was part of Russia in 1912. As for the Jews: We honor 2,208 passengers and crew every day. However, with that many people to honor, we try to shine a spotlight on those passengers that might otherwise have been overlooked among the masses. To do this, we frequently change our focus to a new group of passengers and crew. In 2016 we focused on the musicians aboard (and you still see the remnants of that display in the Music Gallery). Every November we celebrate the Veterans (the military showcard is up year-round). Each March we explore the Irish aboard. The Memorial Gallery holds the remnants of our Religious Christian Heroes display that you enjoyed. Right now, we are focused on the Jews aboard. Which brings us to the Holocaust. WWII began only 27 years after Titanic. Several of the passengers and crew – Jews and not – were involved in WWII and the Holocaust. Some passengers and crew fought during the war or had family or friends who fought or died. Two of the Jewish passengers were closely connected to Anne Frank. One Titanic passenger was a POW held in a concentration camp. One Titanic crewman helped evacuate Dunkirk. One Titanic survivor was arrested as a spy – by both sides of the war! So yes, we have displays involving WWII and the Holocaust. Because they ARE relevant to Titanic. Because Titanic isn’t just a ship that sank in 1912, it’s the people who were there. Over 2,000 Titanic passengers and crew had lives outside 1912, and as a Titanic Museum, we honor those lives – their ENTIRE lives.
