The
Project Judaica Foundation is pleased to present a fascinating exhibition
about how the Danish people saved their Jewish population in October of 1943.
This exhibition has been created by our colleagues in Denmark, in cooperation
with the Ministry of Culture, the Foreign Ministry and university historians,
to be widely accessible in varied venues to be mounted in many different ways
from simple and direct wall mountings to easels to more elaborate methods according
to your own local desires and capabilities. We did this intentionally to allow
the widest access to the largest number of viewers fourth grade classrooms
upward, to synagogues and temples, churches, and mosques, through civic and
social groups all at the most reasonable costs we could manage. This story
is so important we believe it must be widely disseminated and this means will
allow us to do just that.
How is it, under the greatest duress imaginable,
an entire country is able to marshal its forces, under the leadership of its
royal family, to assure
that all available Jewish citizens were ferried across to neighboring Sweden
in the middle of the night with the widespread cooperation of local fisherman,
housewives and children as the Gestapo were to have begun their round-up of
the Jewish population for deportation to the concentration camps? Your audience
will want to know and once they do, will remember the lessons well for a long
time to come.
The thirty six poster-sized panels tell this remarkable
story in careful and accurately written texts and illustrations which have absorbed
each visitor
as it has traveled from the U. S. Capitol where it opened to a record crowd
of half of the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives and their staffs and
dozens of embassies and their staffs, to a number of universities and colleges.
Now, we wish to offer the same opportunity to host
this exhibition in the actual 60th anniversary year of this historic event to
any site willing to host and
care for this easily mountable exhibition.
As a part of the design concept all thirty-six
panels arrive in a sturdy shipping tube which costs very little to ship from
one venue to another. The fee for
this exhibition is $250 per site for a one month to six week stay plus shipping
round trip to the Foundation here in Washington, D. C. unless, of course, it
is to be shipped to the next venue which will then cost your venue only one
way transportation by UPS/FEDEX/USPS 3 day delivery. The average shipping cost
appears to be around $40 one way.
We have four complete sets of this exhibition now
available to begin to be booked as we expect there will a great deal of demand
to host this exhibition.
We already know that lessons taught are so profound and well articulated visually
in this exhibition that there are usually many repeat visitors.
Please book this exhibition at your earliest possible convenience to lock
in the best days for your own venue. You will need to access the contract and
sign it and email it back to this foundation You can charge the fees involved
using your major credit card on this Foundation’s web site to make the
entire effort easy and stress less and move the process along well and easily
through this system.
We look forward to working with you on this important
exhibition to make your own community can benefit from being a host. Email us
