The Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical Society and Beck Archives at the University of Denver work to educate the public about the history of Jewish life in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West. We sponsor lectures, exhibits, digital resources, travel programs, and research opportunities to promote a richer understanding of the Jewish experience in our region.
"Growing Up in Early Colorado: The Lives of Jewish Children, 1860-1940" was written and directed by former RMJHS director Dr. Jeanne Abrams, with video production by Starwest Productions. It was created for the Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical Society's Annual Heritage Award Dinner in 2012.
The honorees and personalities profiled in the film include Elaine Appel, Marshall Fogel, Charlene Sachter, and Abe Wagner.
