Bearing Witness: Unforgettable Stories from the Holocaust

BEARING WITNESS FEATURING MANUELA MENDELS BORNSTEIN (France)

WHEN: JAN 31st | 2 pm

WHERE : ZOOM (RSVP required)

COST: Free RSVP Here

Manuela and her family survived the Holocaust hiding in Vichy France. Her story honors the “conspiracy of goodness” that saved them -- from Parisian neighbors and friends, to members of the Resistance, to the grace of villagers who never revealed their whereabouts despite great danger to themselves.

The program will include a short documentary film about Manuela's life and then she will take questions from the audience over Zoom.

Exhibitions

The Guiding Hand : An exhibition of Torah pointers

We are pleased to present an important and intriguing exhibition of Torah pointers, objects central to Jewish prayer and ritual. Known by their Hebrew name, yads, these ceremonial yet practical instruments are used to keep one’s place in the Torah scroll when reading from its densely hand-lettered Hebrew text. The Guiding Hand: The Barr Foundation Judaica Collection of Torah Pointers is on view in The Breman’s newly updated Discovery Gallery from October 11 through December 2023.
History with Chutzpah : Stories of The Southern Jewish Adventure

The 250+ artifacts, documents, photographs and oral histories in the exhibition, reveal stories from the generations before us and offer you a journey into Jewish culture unlike any other.
