Using the life and accomplishments of Maximilian Goldstein, the public lecture by Yohanan Petrovsky-Shtern will elucidate the paradoxical fate of the pre-1939 Lviv Jewish museums before, during, and after World War II. What happened to one of the richest pre-war European collections of Judaica artifacts? Join us to explore how a collect saved artifacts and how the artifacts sought to, but failed to save the collector.
