A female perspective is needed, Ms. Lilach said.

In one section on the Holocaust, she has taken on “the myth of ‘brothels,’” a term, she said, that has been “perpetuated by some male survivors and male historians.” The word brothels was used, she wrote in a text display, even though the women involved were not prostitutes but slaves “in a rape barrack,” facing execution if they resisted their attackers, according to accounts by survivors.

The exhibition consists of videos of survivors’ testimonies available on a computer and 30 panels of texts, artifacts and photographs that document rapes, sexual slavery, humiliation, sexualized medical experiments and other atrocities perpetuated against women in Bosnia, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia, Syria, Yugoslavia, Germany, Poland and other countries.

There is also information about organizations that help survivors and ways to contact United States officials who could take action. Email addresses and postcards will be provided, said Judy Vladimir, the center’s director of development, who, along with three volunteers, helped Ms. Lilach create the exhibition. “This is where the ‘Moving Beyond’ part of the title comes in,” Ms. Vladimir said.

There were discussions beforehand about what images to display even for adults, Ms. Lilach said. She and her team opted to block out exposed body parts so as “not to further exploit these women and girls.” Some of the photos, of women forced to pose nude in the early 1900s in an area that is now Namibia, were made into postcards by their German captors, she said.
