Salminen Witt said. “The
Jewish Historical Society of
Michigan knew they had a
really interesting Detroit-
based story, the Hastings
Street story, and wanted to
bring that into a museum
context.
“I think there are going
to be a number of poignant
family artifacts that are going
to go in there — things that
are really meaningful and
give you a slice of life in
that time and give a space in
Detroit’s history.
“We appreciate the
interactives so much because
they make the exhibit so
much richer and engaging
for the people we want to
bring to the museum. One
of our primary objectives
with all of our Community
Gallery presentations is to
present these diverse stories.”
The interactive
opportunities, which allow
visitors to experiment
with placing items on a
streetscape, will be available
for home use shortly after
the exhibition closes.
