Uncovered & Rediscovered: Stories of Jewish Chicago
Chapter Three: North, South, East, And West
Uncovered & Rediscovered is an evolving eight-part exhibit that explores the Chicago Jewish experience. The exhibit unfolds over time in a series of intimate chapters (each on display for 3-6 months in the ground floor vestibule of the Spertus building). Admission including a multi-media screening station on the second floor, is free.
Open Sunday-Thursday 10:00am-5:00pm
Closed to the public Fridays, Saturdays,
and Jewish and secular holidays
North, South, East, and West explores the demographic shifts that occurred as families experienced upward mobility and abandoned the areas of initial settlement. This chapter of Uncovered & Rediscovered examines Jewish life in neighborhoods such as Lawndale, the South Side, and Logan Square, and charts the post-war population movement to West Rogers Park and the north and northwest suburbs.
