Bulfinch claimed The Museum of Jewish Heritage, A Living Memorial to the Holocaust opened its doors in 1997, and is recognized as a site of great cultural and historical importance. The powerful stories of courage, family, hope, and faith held within the hexagonal structure of the museum provide a uniquely moving history of Jewish life in the 20th century. This is the first book drawn from the Museum´s collection. Selected from the permanent exhibit at the Museum of Jewish Heritage-A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York City-these 36 objects were passed on to the Museum by Holocaust survivors and their offspring. A child´s Torah scroll, a dress worn at the time of liberation from Auschwitz, a desperate telegram, a false passport, a blue-and-white-striped cap from one of the camps-these are the kinds of objects that are emblems of remarkable stories of perseverance and hope.
