Exhibit on Pope John Paul’s relationship with Jews
The Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles is hosting the exhibition “A Blessing to One Another: Pope John Paul II and the Jewish People” Sept. 12-Jan. 4.
Featuring informative text panels as well as artifacts, documents, photographs, and audiovisual recordings, the exhibition explores the efforts of Pope John Paul II (1920n2005) to improve the dialogue between Catholics and Jews.
Created and produced by Xavier University, Hillel Jewish Student Center (Cincinnati), and The Shtetl Foundation, the exhibition follows John Paul II’s (né Karol Wojtyla) life in Wadowice, Poland, where he grew up in a predominantly Jewish apartment building with a Jewish best friend. As Pope, he visited concentration camps and the old Jewish ghetto in Rome. He was also the first pontiff to enter a synagogue and officially recognize (and visit) the state of Israel.
The Skirball Cultural Center is located at 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles, Calif. 90049. 310-440-4500 or www.skirball.org.
