Type of Exhibition: Art, Heritage, History
The Toronto Holocaust Museum is proud to present a selection of artwork from She Also Served: Jewish Canadian Servicewomen in the Second World War.
During the Second World War, 17,000 Jews enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces, proudly serving their country despite Canada’s “none is too many” Jewish immigration policy. Of these 17,000, more than 250 were women. To highlight the contributions of these Jewish servicewomen, and to counter the lack of public awareness of their participation in the Second World War, this exhibition presents seven original artworks inspired by the stories of these Jewish women.
Artists include: Razieh Alba, Alysa-Beth Engel, Anne Petrie, Lily Rosenberg, Talie Shalmon, Jules Schacter, and Susan Turner.
The exhibition is curated by Jennifer Eiserman, Associate Professor, Department of Art and Art History, and Saundra Lipton, Librarian Emerita, University of Calgary.
For further information on Jewish women in the Canadian military forces during the Second World War, consult the She Also Serves website.
