The Birth of Israel: 18 Months That Changed Jewish Destiny
The Exhibit
The Simon Wiesenthal Center‘s newest traveling exhibition tells the story of the 18 months leading up to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. It contains original documents, historic photos and remarkable stories. The 20 panels that make up the exhibit highlight the Jewish people's long journey home, the struggle for a Jewish state, the leading figures who advocated for statehood, and the villains who tried to block it.
Also included is the UN’s partition vote that almost did not happen, the role the world entertainment community played, President Harry Truman‘s fight with his state department, the days leading up to independence, and finally Zionism in Israel today. The exhibit, which is self-contained in design for easy travel and set up is available for sale to communities, campuses, and synagogues.
