Persecution
and Flight: The Nazi Campaign Against the Jews
coming
in
late 2010
In May 1935, Jews were forbidden to

anti-Semitic propaganda appeared in shops and
restaurants.
The Nuremberg Laws were passed around the
time of the great Nazi rallies at Nuremberg; on
September 15, 1935 the "Law for the Protection of German
Blood and Honor" was passed, preventing marriage between
any Jew and Gentile....

The
Jewish Ghetto
When we hear the word
"ghetto" in reference to Jewish history, we most often think of the time
during the Second World War when Jews were forcibly relocated to small
areas of a town or city where they lived under deplorable conditions.
In this exhibition you will
be able to read about some of the many ghettos created during the war,
as well as hear from former ghetto residents. Also you will see postal
artifacts that were sent to or from several of the Jewish Ghettos of
Europe. |

Never
Forget: Visions of the Nazi Camps
"Never
Forget" is a multimedia presentation that represents in

during the Holocaust in the many
camps.

this exhibition you will learn about many of the camps
that existed before and during World War II, read
testimony from those who were held there, as well as see
many intriguing postcards, letters, stamps and other
postal artifacts that were sent to and from the various
