Exhibitions

Voices of Lombard Street : A Century of Change in East Baltimore

Visit this landmark exhibition that interprets the history of East Baltimore 's Jewish community. As it traces the neighborhood's evolution from 1900 to today, the exhibition will chronicle Jewish life and show how the experiences of Jews and other residents intersected, overlapped and diverged.

Ours to Fight For: American Jews in the Second World War

Celebrate the achievements of the Jewish men and women who served America during World War II, both on and off the battlefield. This riveting new exhibition tells what the war meant to the Jews of the “Greatest Generation” in their own voices and through their own artifacts, letters, and photographs.
