This permanent exhibition presents the history of the Holocaust through artifacts and stories of Atlanta area Holocaust Survivors.
The story of Jewish Atlanta began as it did in many other Southern towns, but its narrative would take dramatic turns as Atlanta became a stage for regional, national, and international events over the next 170 years.
Join us for a final project showcase from ChopArt. ChopArt is a multidisciplinary arts organization serving homeless youth ages 10-18 to help them build community, cope, and heal. Their discussions and life experiences from a week long program with The Breman will inspire a final art project. Please join us and support these amazingly wise and creative teens.
Harry Houdini had an obsessive love/hate relationship with magic and the supernatural. While performing inexplicable feats of magic for millions around the world, he diligently reminded his audiences that he had no occult powers. However, when his mother, Cecelia Weisz, died; he turned to the supernatural in a desperate attempt to pull back the Veil and contact her. Houdini became a regular at seances, and psychic readings, usually finding con artists and fraud. Rolando Santos will look at the world of spiritualism that Harry Houdini encountered as he was : Pulling Back the Veil in Search of Cecelia.
