Motivated by his desire to preserve a Jewish heritage devastated by the Holocaust, Max Stern, founder of Hartz Mountain pet products, built a collection of over 400 Judaica items. Many pieces originally came from famous collections, including the Zagayski, Feinberg and Davidowitz Collections. This selected exhibition includes a variety of ceremonial metalwork and textiles dating from the 17th century to the present, created in North Africa, Europe, Iran, Galicia and Turkey.
