MCCLC - Metropolitan Catholic College Librarians’ Chapter

Fall Meeting/Tour

Friday, October 26, 2012

Please join the MCCLC for a tour of the MCCLC for a tour of the Museum of Jewish Heritage. “The Core Exhibition differs from other institutions of memory by telling the story of the Holocaust from the perspective of those who experienced it. Using first-person histories and personal objects, the Museum explains the essence and beauty of Jewish life and serves as a repository for the memories of Holocaust survivors, whose stories will live on long after they are gone and will continue to teach future generations.

The Core Exhibition is organized around three themes: Jewish Life a Century Ago, The War Against the Jews, and Jewish Renewal each told on a separate floor.”

DATE: Friday, October 26, 2012
