Bus Trip to Jewish Museum Milwaukee
We will leave Madison at 9:30 am, have an early lunch, attend talk and tour from 1-2:30 pm, and then return to Madison. Lunch location and menu will be announced shortly. Cost is $25 and will include all transportation, lunch and museum fees. This program is generously subsidized by Jeff Levy. If cost is prohibitive, funds are available through Jewish Social Services. Contact Paul Borowsky at JSS: paul@jssmadison.org, 608-442-4083. We will have a chance to tour core exhibits as well as the traveling exhibit which is ending soon:
Traveling Exhibit:Stitching Histories From the Holocaust tells the story of Hedwig Strnad and her husband Paul through the letters to their Milwaukee cousin and the dress designs they sent in the hopes of getting visas. Hedy and Paul were ultimately killed in the Holocaust, but her dress designs survived. The centerpiece of this exhibit are the eight dresses lovingly created by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater Costume Shop. These dresses provide visitors with a tangible connection to the loss of talent in the Holocaust.
Accompanying Stitching Histories are two more family stories of immigration:
The Oelsner family fled to Japanese-occupied Shanghai in 1939, the only place that they could go without a visa. Their daughter Edie was born there and the collection reflects the family’s journey from Nazi Germany, to war-torn Shanghai, and ultimately to the United States.
While Mary and George Stern escaped to the United States in 1938 and settled in Racine, WI.
