CURATOR’S CORNER

In this virtual “Curator’s Corner” from January 20, 2021, Dr. Thorin Tritter, HMTC’s Museum and Programming Director, discussed a light bulb in the museum’s permanent collection that is likely the only piece left from a synagogue that once stood in Drama, Greece, a town that was home to more than 1200 Jews before the Holocaust. If you missed this program you can watch it now on youtube:
