Holocaust Museum Tour with Rabbi Goldstein, on Women and the Holocaust, Wednesday May 22, 7 - 8:30 PM
Join Rabbi Elyse Goldstein and Rachel Libman, THM Chief Curator, for a special guided tour of the Toronto Holocaust Museum highlighting the experiences of women before, during, and after the Holocaust.
Learn about Jewish and German women and the parallel universes they inhabited during the Nazi period. Through a close look at artifacts and stories, engage with the difficult choices women faced when trying to survive; their unique roles, responsibilities, and resilience as girls, women, and mothers; and their efforts to reclaim their humanity postwar.
The 90-minute program begins at 7 PM in the Azrieli Legacy Hall. We encourage visitors to arrive early for the opportunity to explore the Museum independently before the guided tour.
$5 off regular admission to the Museum. To attend this event, select the 5pm, 6pm or 7pm timeslot for regular ticket sales on May 22. Use the comp code RABBIELYSE. At checkout under the section where it indicates “Apply a discount” and “Redeem a discount code.”
