Welcome Back Book Reading & Open House

September 17th, 2024

35147 Landy Lane, Rancho Mirage

3-5 PM



We have an exceptional roster of authors confirmed to date, thanks to a third year of collaboration with the Jewish Book Council starting with Robin Judd, author of Between Two Worlds. Between Two Worlds: Jewish War Brides After the Holocaust.


Historian Robin Judd, whose grandmother survived the Holocaust and married an American soldier after liberation, introduces us to the Jewish women who lived through genocide and went on to wed American, Canadian, and British military personnel after the war.



5-7 PM


Exciting transformations are happening at the Tolerance Education Center!


Since March 2024, under the new management of the Jewish Federation of the Desert, we’ve made significant strides.


The Center has undergone comprehensive security upgrades, including new door locks, protective window film, and intercom and alarm systems, ensuring top-notch safety.


We’ve also refreshed the space with vibrant new paint, a state-of-the-art museum wall hanging system, and enhancements to our auditorium and projection setup.


Join us for refreshments, music, and see our new exhibit, Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs

of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman

curated by Jill Vexler Ph.D.

Please RSVP Here for Sept. 17 Book Reading or Open House

Opening September 3, 2024


Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs

of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman

curated by Jill Vexler Ph.D.


Few Holocaust survivors can tell their stories with photographs, especially ones they took themselves. Rarer still are photographs taken by the partisan fighters of their experiences.


Perhaps the only Jewish photographer known to capture Jewish partisan resistance on film is a former partisan, Faigel “Faye” Lazebnik Schulman, who served in a Russian partisan brigade for two and a half years in the forests along the Polish-Russian border.


Her photography is the subject of Pictures of Resistance, opening at the Tolerance Education Center on September 3rd and on vue until January 3rd, 2025.

See our resource page for additional information on Pictures of Resistance.
