An exhibition exploring what it means to be two things at once.

In partnership with 

Jewish people have lived in Britain since 1066. As a community, British Jews are proudly, well, British. Yet they have long been cast as outsiders, whose loyalties lie elsewhere.  This exhibition invites you to explore myth and reality.  There are many different types of Jew and sometimes there are amusing pluralities to being British and Jewish, like wearing a skullcap in your football team's colours. 

Come and see some remarkable objects.  Roam around an interactive virtual environment.  Watch Holocaust survivors talking about growing up.  Discover what’s lurking beneath today’s anti-Jewish racism in the ‘Lift The Flap’ exhibit.

After a successful tour around the country, the exhibition is now on display at The National Holocaust Museum itself. Please ask the Welcome team when you arrive for more information.

What The Press Said "A cutting-edge touring exhibition exploring what it means to be British and Jewish" - The Jewish Chronicle.  Read the full article here. "The exhibition... raises concerns “that some people are so ready to erase British Jewish freedoms because of the Hamas-Israel war 3000 miles away”.  Read the full article here. "The exhibition... invites visitors to think about unconscious bias - several objects on display seem harmless enough, until you lift up a flap to discover the ingrained anti-Jewish assumption they sprang from." - Hampstead & Highgate Express.  Read the full article here.

"...The exhibition makes clear why the attempt to erase Jewish identity is no longer just the province of the extreme right." - Jewish News
