Title

New gallery space

Description

In 1933, YIVO moved to a new, modern building. There, it dedicated two rooms to the Esther-Rachel Kaminska Theater Museum Collection: one for its holdings and another as a permanent exhibit space. The museum also had its own staff of six archivists. This photograph is of an exhibit its curators created about Shalem Asch's (1880-1957) play God of Vengeance and David Nomberg's (1876-1927) The Family.
