Read this article in Yiddish In the heat of the COVID pandemic, the Museum of the Jewish Diaspora has recently re-opened under a new name – ANU: Museum of the Jewish People. The word “anu” means us in Hebrew. But it’s not only the name that’s been changed. The inner architecture and permanent exhibit have been completely revamped at a cost of $100 million. When the museum first opened in 1978, it boasted what was then the latest in museum technology, including video and animation. I used to sneak out of my yeshiva and walk through the replica of the Arch of Titus, taking in the objects and exhibits that represented the various stages of Jewish exile: Babylonia, Spain, Germany, America etc. And I spent hours in the video library.
