Our community event has come and gone and we are still reeling from the experience! We had about 150 members of the community come through the museum and many left awe-struck by the work that had been done in our newly renovated space. Along with a museum tour, guests were able to sample shtetl cuisine, listen to a presentation about the Music of the Holocaust performed by Ball State University musicians, and listen to the harrowing story of Mark Hasten, school founder and World War II veteran. During our event we also debuted the documentary that outlined the origins of the museum and the reasons for the renovation. The documentary can been seen in the last video shown in the post below. Below you can also view pictures from the event, a video that tours our museum space, and a virtual tour of the museum created through the virtual reality platform, Firestorm. We’ve already begun to see the impact our museum will have on our community. Schools are showing interest in coming to visit the space. We’ve learned more about a possible partnership not only with Ball State University, but Indiana University as well. We know this is only the beginning of the possibilities that this newly renovated space has to offer!
