SUMMARY:Maltz Museum Exhibit Explores the Causes of and Responses to Anti-S
 emitism
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWed 5/21-Sun 8/3\nWed 5/21 @ 2PM and 7PM\nAt a time when th
 e president is trying to destroy liberal educational institutions he claim
 s\, falsely\, are a hotbeds of anti-Semitism\, it’s worth remembering th
 at the explosion of anti-Semitism in the U.S. in the last decade has come 
 primarily from the far right and his own followers. There’s no better ex
 ample than the man who killed 11 congregants at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Lif
 e synagogue in 2018 who had been radicalized online by white nationalists 
 and neo-Nazis. It is the deadliest anti-Semitic attack to occur within thi
 s country.\nFor those who want to learn the story\, Cleveland’s Maltz Mu
 seum is the first stop for a new traveling installation\, called Lessons f
 rom the Tree of Life: Lighting the Path Forward\, which will be on view th
 ere through Sunday August 3. The exhibit was created in Pittsburgh at the 
 site of the attack to educate people about anti-Semitism in the U.S. and t
 o fight back against it.\nThe installation includes artifacts that shed li
 ght on the roots of antisemitism\, a prayer book with bullet holes\, some 
 of the items that were left outside the Pittsburgh synagogue in the months
  following the attack\, a commemorative quilt and other items created by p
 eople to remember those who were killed.\n“This is an essential story to
  share with our community\, especially as antisemitism and intolerance are
  on the rise in America\,” says Maltz Executive Director Aaron Petersal 
 in the show’s release. “This installation shares the 10/27 attack’s 
 impact\, yet focuses on the incredible outpouring of support to the commun
 ity. It’s an important reminder of the power of compassion and unity in 
 promoting healing and rebuilding in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The 
 Lessons from The Tree of Life is truly a story of resilience\, and what hu
 manity can do to support each other and rise above hate.”\nOn opening da
 y\, Scott Miller\, the academic advisor and curator of the show\, and 30-y
 ear staff members of the United States Holocaust Museum\, will talk about 
 the exhibit and how it hopes to address anti-Semitism and other forms of h
 ate. He’ll speak twice\, at 2pm and 7pm. Get tickets here.\nmaltzmuseum.
