Telling our Stories – Oral History in Delaware’s Jewish Community

Telling Our Stories: Oral History in Delaware's Jewish Community

In summer 2019, as part of the University of Delaware Summer Scholar program, Dalia Handelman interviewed nine members of Delaware’s Jewish Community. This past fall semester, the [name of] program/class of the [name of] department sent another seven students out to interview long-time residents of Wilmington. The response of the students and community members alike was overwhelmingly positive.

In our Annual Meeting presentation, Dr. Roger Horowitz will describe the oral history program and JHSD’s cooperation with the University of Delaware. We’ll meet some of the student interviewers and hear excerpts of their work. Attendees will learn how they, too, can participate in this initiative.

This event has been postponed. We hope you will join us when we reschedule the program.

Seating is limited. Reservations are recommended. Visit www.jhsdelaware.org or call 302.655.6232
Light refreshments will follow the presentation. Open to the Public | Free Admission
