Posted on February 13, 2023

Original artwork from the new graphic nonfiction book, When I Grow Up: The Lost Autobiographies of Six Yiddish Teenagers, based on never-before-published autobiographies of six eastern European Jewish teens in the 1930’s that were discovered in a Lithuanian church cellar in 2017, is on display in the Rissman Kol Ami Collection. Ken Krimstein, a cartoonist, author, and educator, spoke to the Zayin (7th grade class) about his research and his art. We also hosted an evening reception for the congregation and community. The exhibit will be on display through Purim. To order a copy of the book, When I grow Up, go to https://nssbe.shulcloud.com/form/when-i-grow-up-book-order-form.html.
