Above all, it is a story of men and women who resolutely fought to preserve their humanity and their heritage. In these galleries, short films present the testimonies of those who lived through the Holocaust. The memory of the war's devastation is also preserved in the silent eloquence of artifacts and photographs.

Following the Holocaust, the Jewish people emerged to renew and repair their lives. While mourning characterized the years that follow the war, there is the triumph of the founding of the State of Israel, and the optimism of flourishing Jewish communities in the United States, and throughout the world. The continuity of Jewish heritage is distinguished by the same principles that existed before the war - tradition, community, and justice.

Woman of Letters: Irène Némirovsky and Suite Française
-- Arts - Museum Exhibits, Arts - Science
Venue: Museum of Jewish Heritage
Cost: Adults: $12.00
Seniors: $10.00
Students: $7.00
Children 12 and under: Free
Free admission every Wednesday from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m.
Woman of Letters tells the remarkable story of a writer driven to create, of a mother and her daughters, of memory and identity, of legacy and loss. A Russian-born Jewish author, Irène Némirovsky quickly rose to literary celebrity in her adopted France. But her fame and accomplishment, and even her conversion to Catholicism, were not enough to save her when war came; she was deported to Auschwitz in 1942. Among the few items that she left behind was a valise that contained a leather notebook. Haunted by painful memories, her daughters avoided opening it until Denise read it more than fifty years after their mother’s death. She discovered not a diary, but a major literary work: the first two parts of an unfinished five-part novel, Suite Française. The exhibition illustrates Némirovsky’s life and her extraordinary literary gift to the world with stunning and heartbreaking artifacts, including the original manuscript and the valise, never before exhibited.
