Come and discover objects and places of Jewish life. Based on more than fifty years of studies by the General Inventory, the photographs in this exhibition give as much importance to the majestic witnesses of exceptional architecture or quality silverware as to the more humble objects of daily life, sometimes from the genizoth.
From the evocation of the work of Rachi (c. 1040-1105) to the synagogues rebuilt after the Second World War, the exhibition presents the diversity of the heritage of Judaism in the Grand Est region in successive stages.
