The Jews of Czestochowa Exhibit- December 3, 2006-January 29, 2007
The exhibit traces the history and growth of the Jewish community in Czestochowa, Poland, and recounts the contributions of this once-vibrant population.  Before World War II nearly 40,000 people in this city were Jewish.  After the invasion of Poland in 1939, Jews were confined to the concentration camp in Treblinka.  Six thousand survived in forced labor camps.  Today fewer than 100 Jews live in Czestochowa.

Original documents, photographs books of pre-war life, the tragedy of the ghetto, and the postwar denouement are featured in this exhibit located in the Alvin Sherman Library, Second Floor Gallery.  For more information please call (954) 262-4613.
