We are proud to present our new Voices of the Vigil exhibition catalog. The original exhibition tells the story of the Washington-area Jewish community's efforts to assist their oppressed brethren behind the Iron Curtain-most notably through a 1970-1991 daily vigil across 16th Street, NW, from the Soviet Embassy.
