Synopsis

This volume presents a powerful selection of the artefacts and stories that form the permanent exhibit at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City. The objects featured are touchstones for remarkable tales of perseverance and hope, most of them passed on to the museum by Holocaust survivors and their offspring. Each of the 36 stories is a testament to the strength of these individuals, as well as the resilience of the Jewish faith and the human spirit. The number 36 is steeped in significance in Jewish culture and mysticism, related to the six points of the Star of David, the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust, and the redemption of the world through the deeds of 36 anonymous holy men, as recounted in Yiddish folklore. The book builds on these numerological associations, presenting 36 stories of ordinary - yet extraordinary - Jewish lives.
