Alison Curry ’16
Recent St. Mary’s College graduate Alison Curry ’16 (double major history and anthropology) is continuing her work first begun as a St. Mary’s Project on the remembrance of Jewish material culture in Poland, specifically focusing on Jewish cemeteries and mezuzah impressions (the marks left on the doorposts from the removal of mezuzot). Curry is currently completing a Digital History Certification at George Mason, and was able to utilize Digital Humanities tools to ‘visualize’ where Jewish cemeteries were/are located.
