Hotels Close to William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum
In 1983, an exhibit was organized under the auspices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta called Jews and Georgians: A Meeting of Cultures, 1733 – 1983. That exhibit contained wonderful memorabilia and artifacts from Jewish families, businesses, synagogues and organizations. It was a terrific success, and helped the Jewish community feel proud about its contributions to Georgia and surprised that "junk" from their attics was actually interesting. Then, when the exhibit closed, those materials had to be given back. The dismantling of that show highlighted the need for a permanent space dedicated to the interpretation and preservation of the Jewish experience. The Breman Jewish Heritage & Holocaust Museum is the physical reality that grew out that awareness.Between 1984 and 1992, ...
