Sunday, March 2, 2pm — 3rd Annual Judith Ann Schiff Women’s History Month Program

Join member society JHSGNH at the New Haven Museum on Sunday, March 2, 2025 at 2pm for a program on the lives of seven local Jewish women who we interviewed as part of an oral history project in 2008. Their stories relate the many ways American women contributed to the war effort. From running the family business and managing homefront challenges to serving in the Navy’s WAVES and working in factories as “Rosie the Riveters,” their stories highlight resilience, courage, and ingenuity. Using oral histories and historical documents, this event will bring to life the personal narratives of these women. Stay tuned for more information!
