About this Event

This exhibit explores the Hollywood blacklist and the federal government’s loyalty investigations that upended thousands of lives during the Red Scare. Through powerful personal stories, rare artifacts, and film clips, the exhibition reveals how fear, politics, and identity collided—and what was lost when dissent was silenced. Thanks to the generous underwriting of the tour by Immediate Past Board President Gene Sofer, we have the opportunity to visit for free! 

The tour of the exhibit will last approximately 1 hour. There are seating opportunities to rest during the tour. After the tour, you are welcome to explore the rest of the museum on your own.
 
If there is interest, we will organize a visit to Jack's Famous Deli (right around the corner from the museum) for lunch.

The Capital Jewish Museum is located at the corner of 3rd & F Streets, NW
575 3rd Street, NW
Washington, DC 20001
