Dr. Seuss Goes to War...and More - highlights Theodor Seuss Geisel’s art during World War II when, as a political cartoonist, he sounded the alarm about the dangers of isolationism, racism and antisemitism.  During the years before he became better known as “Dr. Seuss,” one of the world’s most famous and beloved children’s book authors and illustrators, Geisel, from a German-American Evangelical Lutheran family, began to voice his own deeply held personal convictions through his art and his writing. In his cartoons and many of the children’s books that followed, Ted Geisel advocated political and social change, attacked racism and discrimination, affirmed the value of every individual person, worked for literacy, ridiculed the arms race and fought to protect the environment.
 

Creating Community: The Jews of Atlanta from 1845 to the Present - begins with the story of two young peddlers, Jacob Haas and Henry Levi, who settled here to open a dry goods store, and continues to the present day, when more than 100,000 Jews call metro Atlanta their home. The exhibition depicts Jewish residents at prayer, at home, at work, and at play, and at building both their own community and the community at large.
