Museum of Memory (NEW*)

 

 

The Museum of Memory: Assisi 1943–1944 is a portable reproduction of the permanent exhibition that is located in Assisi, Italy. This powerful exhibit tells the story of how the people of Assisi, under Nazi occupation, worked together to hide and protect over 300 Jews during the Holocaust, in close collaboration with museum curator Marina Rosati, Msgr. Anthony Figueiredo, and Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino of Assisi, as well as Gary Krupp of the Pave the Way Foundation, DeSales Media coordinated all aspects of the exhibit’s U.S. presentation, including the printing of the reproduction, venue selection and scheduling, logistics, transportation, security, and public engagement.

Starting in 2022, the exhibition was first brought to Temple Israel in New Rochelle, St. John’s University in Queens, and the Italian Cultural Institute in Manhattan. It later toured the Diocese of Rockville Centre through 2023 and 2024, and continued with visits to the Diocese of Brooklyn. Bringing the Museum of Memory to religious and academic institutions created opportunities for thousands to learn about the extraordinary courage of Assisi’s citizens. Doing so strengthened ties between the Diocese of Brooklyn and international partners and promoted Catholic-Jewish understanding, which is as important now as it ever has been with the recent rise in antisemitism.
