Join the Katz JCC and Stockton University’s Holocaust Resource Center for an enriching
day trip to the Center for Jewish History in New York City to explore Anne Frank The Exhibition. Anne Frank The Exhibition gives visitors of all ages the chance to learn about Anne
Frank, not as a victim but through the multifaceted lens of her life—as a girl, a
writer, and a symbol of resilience and strength. More than 100 original collection
items from the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, including several never-before-exhibited
artifacts, help to convey the context that shaped Anne’s life, death and posthumous
fame
Tickets include transportation to and from New York City and entrance to the Center
for Jewish History Exhibit.
Bus departs the Katz JCC at 8:00 am and returns at approximately 7:00 pm.

The Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center would like to invite you to New
Jersey’s premier screening of Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse. Legendary artist Art Spiegelman rocked the world when he transposed his parents
into mice to tell their Holocaust survival story in his Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic
novel, Maus. We encourage you to join as we watch this insightful documentary that chronicles
Spiegelman’s irreverent life and work, including his extraordinary partnership with
wife Françoise Mouly and his checkered evolution through the world of underground
comics.

Please join us for an in-person and digital lecture and discussion by Dr. Ran Zwigenberg,
Associate Professor at Pennsylvania State University and Kyushu University in Japan.
From the 1950s, Polish state museums sent hundreds of urns containing ashes of Holocaust
victims to mostly non-Jewish museums and organizations worldwide. This talk traces
six of these urns that reached Japan, revealing the complex politics of transnational
commemoration of World War II and the changing status and uses of the Holocaust’s
dead in Japan, Poland, and beyond.
