Through the Lens of Eskenasy: Grand Opening

Join us for the Grand Opening celebration for our latest temporary exhibit entitled Through the Lens of Eskenasy: The Story of a Turkish, Jewish, German Family, where we follow the story of a local survivor.

This exhibition offers a glimpse into the story of a cosmopolitan family that defied clear national, religious or ethnic categorization. The Eskenasy family crossed state borders, switched religious categories, and changed citizenship several times. Their story links Istanbul to Vienna, Munich, Theresienstadt Ghetto, New York City, and Washington state.

The event will feature a discussion between a descendant of the Eskenasy family and the exhibition curator and researcher Joana Bürger and will be moderated by Prof. Devin Naar.
