In 1984, a group of Holocaust Survivors came together with a vision—to build a center in Dallas that would not only remember the horrors of the Holocaust but teach future generations about the dangers of hatred and the power of human dignity. That same year, just a few miles away, a small family-run print shop named Lawton Reprographics opened its doors for the first time.
Funny how things line up sometimes.
What started in a basement for the Museum and a garage-sized operation for Lawton has grown into something much bigger. Today, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum stands tall in the historic West End, welcoming visitors from around the world into a space dedicated to education, remembrance, and the fight for human rights. And Lawton? Well, we’ve grown right alongside them—still family-owned, still right here in Dallas, still doing what we do best: helping bring visions to life with ink, color, texture, and a whole lot of care.
We’ve had the great privilege of working with the Museum on a variety of powerful exhibits—from A Better Life for Their Children to Hidden History: Recounting the Shanghai Jewish Story and Walk This Way. Our large-scale wall graphics, banners, brochures, and vinyl installs weren’t just “print jobs.” They were pieces of a bigger picture—helping share stories that deserve to be seen, heard, and felt.
As Max from the Museum put it best:
“Working with Lawton has been an amazing experience… Lawton has truly been a fantastic partner for us.”
At Lawton, we like to say we don’t just sell prints—we bring purpose to paper. Because when our community has something to say, something to remember, something to teach… we want to help them say it loud and clear.
Forty years strong, and the work still matters. Explore the stories. Feel the history. 📍 💻 Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum
Because some stories deserve more than just words—they deserve to be seen.
