 Permanent Exhibitions


 
POSTCARDS FROM HOME
Photographs were the only way that our families living in Europe and elsewhere could see each other short of a visit. Sometimes a photo was taken before a family member emigrated; others were sent by mail, perhaps with a message written in Yiddish, or perhaps they were hand-delivered by a relative or close friend. Whichever the case, these photos served as a lasting memento that each who possessed them would treasure forever.
   

EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWRY
A series of exhibits that describe some of the conditions that Jews were forced to live under from the time of the Russian Czars to the Holocaust and its aftermath.



 

FROM THE PALE TO THE GOLDEN LAND:
HOW OUR FAMILIES CAME TO AMERICA

This exhibition discusses the process our families undertook to get from their homes in Eastern Europe to their new homes in the United States. The U.S. immigration policy during the years of mass immigration are also delved upon.
   

LIVING IN AMERICA:
THE JEWISH EXPERIENCE

In a number of exhibitions we discuss the lives of those who chose to immigrate to the United States, most of whom came in through Ellis Island and settled, at least initially, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
