[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Please see the message below from UW Ph.D. student Joana Bürger about an upcoming exhibit:

I would like to invite you all to join us for the Grand Opening celebration of my exhibit  Through the Lens of Eskenasy: The Story of a Turkish, Jewish, German Family,<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/holocaustcenterseattle.org/*calendar-f430ff71-87fe-49ad-b029-797789a96d9f-event-maxdh11q__;Iw!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!hdGMXlQk-rUMUIhxRQO0U-LuxG0y8C3jpCBVW0DQhDfJ9dXXfos_bQmI9p-wFgZNE-mvutWKf3a6vg$> at the Holocaust Center for Humanity in Seattle on July 13th

This exhibition offers a glimpse into the story of a cosmopolitan family that defied clear national, religious or ethnic categorization. The Eskenasy family crossed state borders, switched religious categories, and changed citizenship several times. Their story links Istanbul to Vienna, Munich, Theresienstadt Ghetto, New York City, and Washington state.

The event will feature a discussion between a descendant of the Eskenasy family and the exhibit curator Joana Bürger and will be moderated by UW History Professor Devin Naar.

While the program will begin at 2:00 p.m., we encourage you to arrive as early as 1:00 p.m. to view the exhibit beforehand.


Refreshments to follow.


Through the Lens of Eskenasy will be on view July 13 - August 10, 2025.


Advance tickets recommended, walk-ins are welcome.

This exhibit has been made possible through funding from the Stroum Center and the Digital History Summer Fellowship.
