  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate the newly 
opened Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. I was truly honored to be a 
part of this legendary event in my Congressional District. The Maltz 
Museum will serve as an extension of the highly prized collection of 
religious objects in the Temple-Tifereth in Beachwood, Ohio.
  The creation of the museum was made possible through the efforts of 
Milton and Tamar Maltz, the creators of the International Spy Museum in 
Washington, DC. They convinced the Temple-Tifereth that they needed a 
museum to showcase their religious antiques, and provide a better 
accessible building for a more diverse array of people.
  The Maltz Museum tells the history of the Jewish people of Cleveland 
and of those abroad. The museum uses photographic exhibits to tell 
their stories on religion, immigration, the Jewish contribution to 
Broadway, and the unforgettable events of the Holocaust. Videos and 
interactive computers along with audio tapes bring the past to reality.
  On behalf of the people of the 11th Congressional District I 
celebrate the opening of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. This 
museum will serve as a link to connect all people of all religions in 
the pursuit of knowledge of Jewish religious history and its impact on 
our community.
