Kindertransport Memory Quilts(on display in lobby April 2025)

The Kindertransport Quilts are folk art pieces where multiple artists created individual squares, each reflecting their perspective on the Kindertransport experience: pictures of the past, fears and nightmares, memorials to lost family. The Kindertransport was a rescue effort that brought thousands of Jewish children from Nazi-occupied territories to safety in Britain between 1938 and 1939.

Portraits of Life(On display in the museum April 2025}

With its unforgettable images of Holocaust survivors, “Portraits of Life: Holocaust Survivors of Montgomery County” depicts a rich tapestry of lives lived in Montgomery County, their stories, lessons, and legacy without idealized overtones.
