 Selections from the Reading Room
Martin Mendelberg's Selections from the Reading Room, Remnants is an old suitcase containing a collection of books and short stories detailing the lives of tuberculosis patients at the Jewish Consumptives’ Relief Society (JCRS) in Denver, Colorado. At the heart of the JCRS campus was the Isaac Solomon Synagogue, a modest and simple home that became the spiritual center for many of the practicing Jews as early as 1904.
