A Blessing to One Another: Pope John Paul II and the Jewish People August 28, 2009 through January 3, 2010 In the course of his papacy, John Paul II shattered the chain of 2,000 years of painful history between Catholics and Jews. The exhibit draws its name from the pope's 1993 appeal marking the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising: “As Christians and Jews, following the example of the faith of Abraham, we are called to be a blessing to the world. This is the common task awaiting us. It is therefore necessary for us, Christians and Jews, to first be a blessing to one another.”
