Free

As an exclusive thank you to our Museum Mishpacha (family) Members, please join us to explore the current special exhibit for free. Members are welcome to explore on their own or join a special docent-led exhibit tour starting at 10:30 a.m.

Fresh pastries will be served.

During WWII countries, policies, and populations across Europe were complicit in aiding the Nazis’ ‘Final Solution’ plan for ridding the continent of Jews. While the world was aware of the Jewish plight, refusals to expand immigration quotas and antisemitism severely limited the options and odds of escape and survival. Denmark’s response served as an exception. The events and actions that saved roughly 95% of Danish Jewry will be brought to light through artifacts, personal accounts, and an anchoring photographic series, Resistance and Rescue.

Designed to highlight the choices available to governments to be upstanders in the face of prejudice and discrimination, this exhibit demonstrates the importance of governmental policy in the protection of its people. Additionally, it spotlights a history of allyship and advocacy for the Jewish people by non-Jews, and explore the power of photography to record and reveal historical truths.
