A Menorah That Honors an Immigrant's Story

"Hanukkah... and the Statue of Liberty... are separated by two millennia and thousands of miles, but Manfred Anson thought it perfectly appropriate to bring them together."

Anson's "Liberty Menorah" is one of our favorite objects in the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust collection.

Join us at Light Up the Night 2019 to celebrate the Museum and its critical work during the festival of lights.

After escaping the Holocaust, Manfred Anson paid tribute to his new home.
