Dr. Jeremy Maron
from Humans, On Rights
Jeremy Maron was in Grade 8 when he went to a screening of the film Schindler’s List. It was a very emotional experience that was made that much more powerful when Holocaust survivor Philip Weiss shared his personal story as a Holocaust survivor. Today Dr. Jeremy Maron is a curator of Holocaust and genocide content at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (@CMHR_News) and he shares the remarkable story of how a seemingly ordinary blue leather wallet that was purchased in 1940 at a market in a small town in Poland was revealed to be made out of a piece of the Torah scroll. Dr. Maron’s passion is on display as he works with the Jewish Community to answer the question: is this wallet an artifact to display in the CMHR or is it an object that belongs in the Jewish community.Click here for a transcript of this episode.
