The University of Pittsburgh hosted the first full-scale presentation of the exhibition, expanding upon the version initially shown in Washington, D.C. Exhibition docents included survivors, family members of those murdered, and individuals involved in the stewardship and selection of the thousands of memorial objects left at the Tree of Life site after the attack. Two opening events were held for stakeholders and donors. Additional public programming included Songs of Resilience: Music for Lighting the Path Forward, a concert exploring the rich tapestry of Jewish music in a program of hope and remembrance, and Stories From the Sidewalk: Offerings Left After October 27, which reflected on the meaning and impact of the memorial items left in the aftermath of the shooting.
