Survival in Sarajevo: La Benevolencija

The exhibition Survival in Sarajevo: La Benevolencija tells the story of the Jewish humanitarian organization that provided critical relief at the height of the conflict. Led by Holocaust survivors and their children, La Benevolencija housed itself in Sarajevo’s Jewish community center and provided medicine, food, and community to Sarajevans trapped in the city.  The agency’s pharmacy, mail service, and soup kitchen served all comers, regardless of their religious belief or ethnic background.
