#HappyHanukkah! On this #ThirdDay we’re traveling to Sosúa, a town in the Dominican Republic, where in this photo Jewish refugee children are performing a Hanukkah show in the 1940s. 🕎 In July 1938, the Dominican Republic took in a limited number of Jewish refugees and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee @jdcjoint formed an agricultural colony in the town of Sosúa for them, nurturing this new Jewish community during the war. Learn more about Sosúa and Jewish refugees in the Dominican Republic in our core exhibition, The Holocaust: What Hate Can Do - plan your visit at the 🔗 in our bio. Gift of Dezider and Shirley Scheer and family, 2008.P.13. 📸: This black and white photograph shows three long rows of children on a stage, surrounding a large wooden menorah and performing a Hanukkah show. There’s a large Jewish star on the back of the stage, and the children wear matching hats. #AlwaysRemember #JewishHeritage #MJHNYC #MuseumOfJewishHeritage #NeverForget #HolocaustEducation #Hanukkah #FromOurCollection #ImmigrantStories #WhatHateCanDo #HanukkahShpiel
