The McDonough Public Library will host a 20-panel banner exhibit based on the William Breman Museum of Jewish Heritage’s “Eighteen Artifacts: Story of Jewish Atlanta,” from now through March 22.
Through a partnership between the Georgia Public Library Service and the Breman, libraries statewide will welcome the exhibit into their communities.
The Breman Museum has connected visitors and Georgia residents to the Jewish history, culture, and arts for over 20 years in the form of permanent exhibits, guided tours, programming for all ages, and immersive events featuring lectures and discussions with Holocaust survivors, and live events.
Susanne Katz, Director of Exhibitions, states “Jewish contributions to the history of Atlanta can
be found in curious places. Be it the civil rights movement, Coca-Cola, Home Depot – Jewish figures were integral in the development of the Atlanta we know today.”
The partnership is not relegated to the exhibit alone. Available for checkout at all 407 public libraries in Georgia is the Family Pass which, when checked out just like a book and taken to the Breman, is good for four free admissions to the museum.
