Bnei Mitzvah program

While some Jewish people were able to practice their religion in secret during the war, many young people were forced to reject or hide their identity. This program explores the nature of hiding, and the ways people sought to maintain or deny their Jewishness.

Participants will engage with the experiences of Holocaust survivors and be inspired by their resilience. They will also discover how kindness from strangers changed the lives of many survivors.

This program:

• Is delivered with sensitivity, in an age-appropriate manner
• Emphasizes the importance of being connected to one’s Jewish identity
• Is led by our expert museum educators

This program is generously supported by the Holckner Family
