The Alaska Jewish Historical Museum is sponsoring its eighth annual Jewish Cultural Gala on November 12, 2011, at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, Alaska. Our theme is: "Celebrating Alaska's Cultural Diversity, The Jewish Contribution to the Shaping of Alaska's Constitution, Statehood and Civic & Economic Development honoring Victor Fischer and Patricia Wolf for outstanding leadership in the shaping of the Last Frontier." For more information, please visit our Gala website at www.alaskajewishgala.org.The Alaska Jewish Historical Museum was established with a mission to educate the public of the untold Jewish history of Alaska and the previously unrecognized contributions of Alaska's Jewish residents to the purchase and development of Alaska's government, commerce and humanities from territorial days to present. The AJHM highlights the Jewish advocacy and contribution for Alaskan Natives rights and culture, as well as Alaska's historic humanitarian contribution to the rescue of Jewish refugees from European and Arab countries after WWII and during the establishment of the state of Israel, as well as exhibits related to the holocaust and its relationship with Alaska, its survivors and liberators. Through its exhibits, public lectures, documentaries and educational programs, the AJHM encourages the public to become more informed about Alaska's Jewish history and culture and helps build cultural bridges that promote diversity and tolerance.
