Jewish Family & Community Services is currently displaying a free touring photography exhibition named “Rescuers: Portraits of Moral Courage.”
Photographer Gay Block and writer Malka Drucker spent three years photographing and interviewing over 100 people who hid, protected, and saved Jews in Europe during World War II. The result is this exhibition, which is being shown at the Frisch Family Holocaust Memorial Gallery, located within Jewish Family & Community Services Headquarters at 8540 Baycenter Road in Jacksonville. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Groups are welcome with advance appointments.
Established in 1917, Jewish Family & Community Services has been operating in the Jacksonville community for more than 100 years. Guided by Jewish values, the local nonprofit has been committed to the mission of “helping people help themselves” — no matter their faith or background. JFCS provides a wide range of services, in six key program areas: adoption, foster care, emergency financial assistance, mental health counseling, dropout prevention and senior support. They also provide Jewish life services, which includes assisting Holocaust survivors.
