ANOHA—The Children’s World of the Jewish Museum Berlin is inspired by both ancient and contemporary flood stories. Through exhibits utilizing imagination and play, the museum provides their youngest guests with a sense of hope and possibility in the face of global issues like climate change, the cause of rising tides. Within ANOHA, children are encouraged to forge connections with one another, working together to create an empathetic future.
