One of the most important events in our nation's history, the Civil War forever altered American life. The Washington, D.C. area was the location of intense activity. This original exhibition was mounted as part of national celebrations of Lincoln's bicentennial in 2009, and tells stories of Jewish life in Civil-War Washington. The fifteen panel exhibit also highlights the contributions of Jewish Americans to military service, government, politics, and medicine.
