Oct 14 - Mar 10
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 tour of Congregation Or Ve Shalom, the first Sephardic synagogue in Atlanta, celebrating its 100 anniversary. The name Sephardi means "Spanish" or "Hispanic", derived from Sepharad, a Biblical location.
This Lunchtime Culture event is Presented by the Center for Puppetry Arts at the Alliance Theatre. Each lunchtime culture event pairs two midtown Atlanta sites for a conversation, performance, or tour experience from a fresh perspective. Programs begin at 12 noon, are FREE, and last approximately 30 minutes (with time to explore the venue after the program). Lunch is not included with program.
Henry Birnbrey was brought to the United States on a special mission to rescue Jewish children. Years later, Henry would return to Germany as an American GI, serving with the forces that stormed the beaches of Normandy. He was among the first American eyewitnesses to the devastation of the Nazi concentration camps. What he saw would change his life forever.
In honor of this season of thanks, we would like to invite Breman Members to bring their friends and family, free of charge, to the museum.* We will be serving bagels and light refreshments all day. *To receive free admission, all non-member visitors must be accompanied by a current Breman member.
Join Conductor Juan Ramirez and Cantor Lauren Adesnik as members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Emanu-El Youth Choir perform a very special Vedem-inspired Chanukah concert, From Darkness to Light. This concert highlights inspiring music from the Holocaust, melodic Sephardic tunes and uplifting Chanukah favorites.
