What’s the Story? Mysteries from the Museum’s Collection

gallerytalksover_03Ilona Moradof, Associate Director of Administration and Special Projects at Yeshiva University Museum, leads  a free 30-minute tour of the exhibition followed by a 30-minute Gallery Talk. Gallery Talks and tours are free, but registration is required.

In 1939, Paul Strnad wrote to his American cousin seeking help for him and his wife Hedy to escape Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Nearly 60 years later, the Strnad family discovered the letter in their basement, along with a packet of Hedy’s dress designs. Hedy and Paul Strnad did not survive, but their story is brought to life through the contemporary creation of Hedy’s designs and the piecing together of this couple’s history.
