The recipient will coordinate installation of seven thematic areas that combine new lighting, graphics, modern technology, authenticated artifacts, interactive displays, and immersive reflection spaces. Working with a design consultant and external fabricators, the museum staff will develop new antisemitism curriculum materials aligned with New York State standards and initiate updated training for docent volunteers.
