The Nazis were well aware of the significance of #YomKippur , and often timed major actions against Jewish communities to coincide with it, and with Rosh Hashanah over a week earlier. Ghetto deportations and mass shootings often fell on Jewish holy days – Yom Kippur included.

When creating our new youth-focused Hidden exhibition Lead Curator Jennifer Levitt-Maxwell set out to curate a safe space for younger audiences using immersive learning techniques.

We can't wait to share the space with you in November!
