Reflecting on 'Memory Unearthed'
It is Member Day at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in New York, and the first Sunday that 'Memory Unearthed' is open to the public. Our tour group gathers just outside the gallery.
“I won’t compete with these voices,” I say, gesturing above my head. “But I want to tell you what’s playing. You’re hearing survivor testimony about the Lodz Ghetto, from the Museum’s collection. You can also hear these testimonies inside.”
Survivors’ voices draw us into the gallery. We step closer to the large projected image that is already partially visible.
