A detail from "Alephbet" by Grisha Bruskin.

PORTLAND---This weekend is the big reopening for the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education. Remember the space in Portland’s South Park Blocks, where the dearly departed Museum of Contemporary Craft once lived? The space is now the new home of OJMCHE. The move doubles the museum's auditorium capacity, expands the archives collection and Holocaust education programs dramatically, and sets the stage for a bigger conversation about Jewish life, identity and community. Grisha Bruskin’s “Alefbet” will be on view at the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education through October. The museum’s grand opening is Sunday, June 11. [More]
