HISTORY WITH CHUTZPAH!

Remarkable Stories of the Southern Jewish Adventure 1733-Present

The Breman marked its milestone anniversary with an exhibition that represents the museum’s resilience and staying power. Our exhibition highlights the meaning of chutzpah and how courage and strength truly make a difference in the lives of others. The 250+ artifacts, documents, photographs and oral histories in the exhibition reveal stories of how Jewish Southerners adapted to and affected the society that surrounded them, while simultaneously retaining and celebrating their unique cultural heritage. Enhanced by personal interviews and interactive screen displays, the exhibition also features live theatrical vignettes, performed by local actors and directed by Mira Hirsch, throughout the exhibition period.
