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. |

Walk in My Shoes
Collected
Memories of the Holocaust
There are many stories left to be told by survivors of the
Holocaust, stories that must be told so that others may read
and understand about what events transpired during these
times, that our increased awareness of what occurred might
prevent such a horrific event from ever happening again. Read
accounts of a number of survivors from today's Hungary, Poland
and Ukraine. |

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. |

The Yiddish World
One of the aims of the Museum is to keep the Yiddish language
and culture alive. The Yiddish World honors not only the many
Jewish actors and writers, and the products of their
creativity, but also attempts to do what it can to keep
the Yiddish language fresh in the mind of the Museum visitor. |
