'The Museum has become critical in the face of antisemitism'
A clear, direct line connects the milestones in Irina Nevzlin’s journey, from the moment she discovered her roots as a Jewish teenager in the Soviet Union to her role as chairwoman of ANU, the Museum of the Jewish People. In an interview with Israel Hayom, she describes the moment she knew she would make aliyah, reveals the secret to drawing the younger generation to the Jewish story (“There is something genuine here that manages to touch people”), and stresses the importance of strengthening the Jewish people’s identity in the face of waves of hatred: “When you are built on something real that is yours, you stand taller, and no one can take that away from you.”
