October 19 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join the Virginia Museum of History & Culture and the Virginia Holocaust Museum to dive into a closer look at partnerships between the Jewish & Black Communities during the 20th century.

Rosenwald, and the 4,978 Schools That Changed America,” and guided source analysis of paired documents. In addition, the Virginia Holocaust Museum will discuss the experiences, common ground and support found between Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany and Black Americans that were subjected to oppression and discrimination in the United States.

This workshop will last from 10:00-1:00 and is free to attend. Lunch and certificates of completion will be provided.
