Peace


 
At a time when war is being waged again in Israel and Europe, a new exhibition at the Jewish Museum Vienna will focus on peace. Starting with various concepts and definitions of peace, the exhibition will trace the relationship between peace and Judaism, politics, war, feminism, and justice. It will focus on Jewish perspectives and recall the idea of peace as an achievement of civilization, as a contribution to a defective culture of peace. A wide-ranging education program will highlight the complexity of this subject and invite visitors to participate.
