Exhibition opening: Thursday, March 16 from 6-8 pm
The Museum at Eldridge Street presents an exhibition of vintage postcards of Central and Eastern European synagogues from Prague-based collector Frantisek Bányai. These remarkable images depict a world that was all but destroyed during the Second World War. The exhibition will be on view at the Museum through June 8, 2017.
“From Prague-based collector František Bányai comes a remarkable collection of historic postcards on Jewish themes. Both beautiful and poignant, the postcards offer a view of a time and place that no longer exist – synagogues, many destroyed during the Second World War, people on their way to prayer, celebrating and sending greetings in a vanished Eastern Europe of a century ago. On View through June 8, 2017. Included with Museum Admission.”
There is no charge for the event, but they ask that you please RSVP.
