POWDER HORNS: AN EARLY AMERICAN ART FORM

Throughout the early wars in America, powder horns were a close companion to colonial weapons such as the musket, fowler, flintlock rifle, and pistol. This exhibit features seven powder horns from the Historic Huguenot Street’s permanent collection dating to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Both owner and professionally-made examples of scrimshaw are featured, as well as horns with provenance to descendants of Huguenot Street patentees.

RESISTANCE IS THE LESSON

This exhibit displays, in photographs and words, more than twenty acts of armed uprisings against Nazi oppression, in ghettos, concentration camps, and the forests and fields of Europe-with prominent portraits of Mordechai Anielewicz (commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising), Vitka Kempner, Abba Kovner, Roza Robota, and numerous others. Also included is a section on Righteous Gentiles who risked their lives to help Jews. The exhibit, with its evidence of the resistance, powerfully undermines the ™sheep to slaughter∫ trope about the Jewish response to Nazi genocide.
