Last Folio: The Books Opening Event
About this Event
Join the South Carolina Council on the Holocaust, Columbia Holocaust Education Commission, and the Anne Frank Center at USC, with generous support from Chabad at USC, the Columbia Jewish Federation, the Selden K. Smith Holocaust Education Foundation, and Jewish Studies at USC, for the opening of Last Folio: The Books at the USC Library on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Guests will explore the exhibition, view a one-hour documentary, and participate in a Q&A discussion, followed by a light reception.
In 2006, fine art photographer Yuri Dojc discovered an abandoned Jewish school in Bardejov, Slovakia, left untouched since its students and teachers were deported to concentration camps. Inside, schoolbooks, notebooks, and personal items remained frozen in time—including a pivotal discovery, a prayer book belonging to Dojc’s grandfather. Last Folio has been exhibited at more than 30 museums, galleries and cultural institutions around the world, including the United Nations, the European Commission in Brussels, New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage, Cambridge University, and the national libraries of Germany, Italy and Denmark.
