Description

The Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum will display art created by Washington area high schoolers participating in the Bringing the Lessons Home and Stephen Tyrone Johns Summer Youth Leadership Program at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The Art and Memory Project enables students to engage with survivors who volunteer at the Holocaust Museum, learn their histories, and together create works of art based on the survivors’ experiences. The art will be on display from January 7 to February 2.

We invite you to join us for a moderated conversation between a survivor and a youth participant as they discuss the project and the impact their stories have on our local community. Learn about the survivors' and students’ connections to Jewish Washington, and reflect on the lessons that emerge through the intergenerational engagement.

Capital Jewish Museum

The Capital Jewish Museum explores the Jewish experience in the national capital region and inspires visitors to connect, reflect, and act—connect personally and collectively, reflect on the relevance of the past to today, and act on behalf of their communities and values. With its experimental spirit, the Museum connects the past to the present through thought-provoking exhibitions, dynamic programming, and creative public experiences. The Community Action Lab invites visitors to engage through hands on-activities, resources, workshops, games, and more.
