The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History

a Virtual Tour with Charlotte Schwartz

Beginning in the 1600s when the first permanent Jewish settlers came to the New World from Brazil, our core exhibition flows chronologically as it highlights the diverse backgrounds, expectations, and experiences of Jews who first came to these shores and the generations that followed. At the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, the core exhibition illustrates the choices they faced, the challenges they confronted, and the ways in which they shaped, and were shaped by, their American home. We are looking forward to exploring this rich history together!

Charlotte Schwartz is a native Philadelphian and has been a docent at The Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History since 2012. Prior to becoming a docent she had a career as a professional Sign Language Interpreter and did volunteer work for various community and religious organizations. Charlotte is a proud wife, mother of three and grandmother of eight. She is honored to represent The Weitzman and hopes you enjoy our presentation.
