Curator’s Corner: A Wedding Dress from Pre-War Europe

Curator’s Corner

Join Thorin Tritter, HMTC’s Museum and Programming Director, for a discussion about a wedding dress that was used in a wedding in Amsterdam in 1940, just before the Nazis invaded on May 10th, and then carried from the Netherlands across the Atlantic to New York. The dress offers a window into the pre-war life of Jews in Amsterdam and the terror brought on by the Nazi attack.
