A permanent exhibition illustrating the history of the Jews of Medieval Oxford has opened in the city’s museum.
The project is the culmination of several years’ work between the Oxford Jewish Congregation, which established the Oxford Jewish Heritage Committee in 2006, and the Museum of Oxford — housed in the Oxford Town Hall.
The exhibits illustrate the site-specific history of the thriving medieval Jewish quarter, which was located in the area around the present town hall.
Dr Evie Kemp, convenor of the OJHC said: “Our vision is to make the Jewish history of Oxford accessible in a fun and exciting manner to as wide an audience as possible, both for our generation and generations to come.”
