Secrets from the Chest [antikvár]

DEAR READER, If you would like to get to know an exciting place called the Jewish Museum and Archives of Budapest, then you're in the right place! It is no surprise if you are interested in learning more about it, since it is full of treasures that you are about to see! You will find 13 objects (or in some cases pairs of objects) in this booklet that we will take a look at together. If you just happen to be in the Museum right now, then we encourage you to actually find the objects that we included in the booklet. Small icons will tell you which objects are on display at the moment. If you do not have the opportunity to walk through the exhibition in the museum, then don't worry! We included beautiful, color pictures of every single object and document, and we even wrote you short but hopefully fascinating descriptions to go along with them. But the best way to understand these pieces is if we discover them together! You will see short questions and playful tasks to go along with each item. We encourage you to be as creative as you like when answering the questions and don't hesitate to talk to someone about them because in most cases there aren't any right or wrong answers. In fact, they're great topics for discussion with your friends or parents. To help you out, we wrote down the definitions of a few words that we thought you might not have heard of before in the glossary at the end of the booklet. Feel free to always flip ahead to this section, since the words we wrote down will often make questions and descriptions much easier to understand. And now let's finally get to know the story of our 13 objects! We are about to find out how they are all connected.
