Abby Magariel, curator of the Michael Klein Collection at the Temple Congregation B’nai Jehudah in Overland Park, will be bringing objects and artifacts to the Jewish Studies suite this Thursday at 12:30pm as part of Dr. RB Perlmutter’s course, Jewish Folklore and Folklife.

Today we commemorate the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and remember the Jewish resistance that stood fearlessly against hate. Never forget.
