Reception for Jewish Witness to a Polish Century October 14, 2010

Join us for a reception featuring Centropa Project Director Edward Serotta as he talks about about the fascinating exhibit "Jewish Witness to a Polish Century."

The Centropa Project spent seven years interviewing the oldest Jews still living in Poland to find out how their families lived during the Holocaust. From this treasure chest of Jewish memories, Centropa created an amazing exhibit of more than 100, six-foot-tall banners that feature family photographs and deeply personal stories. An interactive website, multimedia films and online projects created by Polish high school students accompanies the exhibit.

The exhibit is on display at the OFJCC's Schultz Cultural Arts Hall Lobby from 9/15 to 11/29. To schedule a viewing, contact Jennifer Landucci at (650) 223-8664 or jlanducci@paloaltojcc.org.
