Vedem: The Underground Magazine of the Terezin Ghetto
Vedem Underground examines the literary magazine written by Jewish teens imprisoned at Terezin, a Nazi camp in Czechoslovakia during the Second World War. Using pop-art graphics, drawings and paintings, and the prose and poetry, these brave adolescents secretly wrote and illustrated the longest-running underground magazine in a Nazi camp. Vedem (Czech for “In the Lead”) documented their voices with defiance, humor and heartbreak. The exhibition breaks down their 800 original pages and reconstructs them in the form of a contemporary magazine. Curated by Rina Taraseiskey and Danny King.

A Healing Journey to Eastern Europe; a slideshow by Ana Holub
On Wednesday, May 23 at 7:30 pm at the Havurah Synagogue, Ana Holub will share a slideshow and talk about her journey.

She’ll tell the story of the inspiration for this healing journey, participation of hundreds of friends and family members, and the poignant lessons of peace she learned along the way. The slideshow will include photos from Oslo, Prague, Brno, Warsaw, Auschwitz and Krakow.
