Opening in Partnership with Centropa coincides With Holocaust Remembrance Day, May 1.
-- by Beverly Rosen
Highlights: Over 70 Six-foot Story Panels, Student Videos, and Guided Tours
All during the spring trimester, Barrack Hebrew Academy 9th graders researched Czech history; the richness of Jewish life in Czechoslovakia prior to the Holocaust, including vibrant music, theater, and art scenes, in addition to daily life; the horrors of the Shoah; and life after World War II. They turned their research and photos into larger than life story panels and videos based on key historical happenings, personal family histories, and interviews with Holocaust survivors and children of survivors to create the Barrack Museum of Czech Jewry.
Pictured (left to right) are 9th graders Jacob Reich, Sarah Wolfson and Avi Gordon.
After a journey that spanned millions of miles - from South Florida to the International Space Station and back - the original April 2006 proclamation that created Jewish American Heritage Month will be presented by Jewish NASA astronaut Dr. Garrett E. Reisman to the National Museum of American Jewish History.
