An Exhibit Tells the Universal Story of the Emigrant

In a visit with curator Patricia Klindienst we learn how a simple postcard led her to reconstruct the story of Abram Spiwak and Sophie Schochetman - their immigration from Czarist Russia to America, their courtship, marriage, and the making of their life together. Klindienst's exhibit, "No One Remembers Alone: Memory, Migration, and the Making of an American Family," tells the universal story of the emigrant through postcards, related ephemera, and photographs. "No One Remembers Alone" is on exhibit at the Yiddish Book Center through March, 2014.
