Our Take: Although a physically “small” space, the Museum tells he story of the Jewish experience as experienced in the South. A short video introduces the emigration of Jews from Europe in the 18th and 19th century. Exhibits cover topics from the creation of Jewish communities in the United States to the Holocaust to the efforts to save Jews located in the Soviet Union.
