COLUMBUS JEWISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY
SPONSORS GROUP TRIP TO THE MALTZ MUSEUM

The Columbus Jewish Historical Society is sponsoring a group trip to the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday, November 09, 2008. A private docent tour has been arranged that will include the new exhibit "Zap! Pow! Bam! The Superhero: The Golden Age of Comic Books, 1938-1950". The exhibit gives a proud nod to the prominence of Jewish artists and the importance of Cleveland (home of the creation of Superman by a pair of Glenville High School students) in the development of comic book art. In addition to rare, never-before-displayed comic book art and memorabilia, the exhibit features 1940s serials, video interviews, an interactive phone booth, a drawing studio, and costumes for visitors of all ages to enjoy.

Visitors to the Maltz Museum will step inside a world filled with inspiring and moving stories of Jewish immigrants, perhaps even their own ancestors and modern-day heroes. By incorporating state-of-the-art computer interactives, film, special effects, individual stories and oral histories, the Museum’s dramatic permanent exhibition is an uplifting and moving experience.

The group trip includes: Continental Breakfast, Box Lunch, Admission to the Museum, and Private Bus Transportation (including gratuity to the driver). The group will meet at the Melton Community Services Building, 1175 College Avenue, at 8:00 AM for breakfast and return approximately 6:00- 6:30 PM. Cost of the trip is $68.00 per person, payable to the Columbus Jewish Historical Society, 1175 College Avenue, Columbus, OH 43209, or call Peggy Kaplan at 614-238-6977. Make your reservation ASAP as the seats are limited. Your check is your reservation. This trip is open to members of the community.
