The exhibit was based on a project carried out by Jakobovits in 1927, which included Hebraica and Judaica, rare prints, and manuscripts.He was involved in trying to circumvent Nazi destruction of Jewish objects and ultimately was deported to Auschwitz in October 1944.

Priestley was an important 18th century theologian. Priestley, who strongly believed in the free and open exchange of ideas, advocated toleration and equal rights for religious Dissenters, which also led him to help found Unitarianism in England. The controversial nature of Priestley’s publications, combined with his outspoken support of the French Revolution, aroused public and governmental suspicion; he was eventually forced to flee in 1791, first to London and then to the United States, after a mob burned down his Birmingham home and church. He spent his last ten years in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.(Wikipedia) (269619) $450.00
