In conjunction with the evening’s discussion, the Violins of Hope museum exhibition will have its grand opening. The museum will be open all day, Tuesday (January 31) until the program begins, and then again after the program ends for one hour. The Violins of Hope: Every Violin Has A Story Exhibition will run from January 31 – March 28, 2023 at the Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum at Temple Emanu-El. Museum hours are Sunday through Thursday, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM


At the entrance to the Avenue of the Righteous Among Nations stands a tree honoring Irena Sendler, a non-Jewish Polish social worker who repeatedly snuck into the Warsaw Ghetto to lead Jewish children to safety. On a wall not far distant, the names Adolf and Maria Althoff are inscribed to honor the bravery of the German circus owners who sheltered Jews under their Big Tent. And down a walkway stands a statue of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese diplomat in France who defied his government by issuing visas to fleeing Jews, saving 30,000 lives.

Sendler, the Althoffs, and de Sousa Mendes are but four of the 27,921 non-Jews who found the courage and moral fortitude to defy the authorities and their neighbors by risking everything to protect Jews persecuted by the Nazis.

On the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, author  Richard Hurwitz joins Abe Foxman to share stories about the people who refused to close their eyes, and, as Golda Meir once said, “saved hope and the faith in the human spirit.” It's another great conversation series from our friends at The Streicker Center. 

NOTE: This is in conjunction with the opening of Violins of Hope: Every Violin Has a Story exhibition, part of the Violins of Hope programming at Temple Emanu-El’s Bernard Museum of Judaica. The exhibit is running now - open Sunday - Thursday. 10 AM-4 PM.
