The Jewish World of Yesterday, the Hope of Today - Lithuania

The Jewish World of Yesterday, the Hope of Today - Lithuania

Centropa's bilingual exhibition "The Jewish World of Yesterday, the Hope of Today" consists of nine panels, presenting personal stories and photos that show Jewish life in Lithuania during the 20th century. The exhibition, based on Centropa biographies, was first opened in 2012 and has been revised and expanded in 2022, adding a panel on Jewish customs and traditions for more context.

A working group of Lithuanian and US teachers has developed methods and approaches on how to work with the exhibition in the classroom. 

The brochure accompanying the exhibition, which includes the developed pedagogical approaches, can be downloaded under "Exhibition details".
