Pittsburgh Happenings: September 26-October 2

We blinked; summer is now officially over, and fall emerged with its crisp, cool air. Might as well embrace the season, right? We’ve gathered a few PSL recipes so you can taste the flavors of autumn. We’ve also rounded up a selection of Southwestern PA farms for pumpkin and apple picking. Don’t forget to visit these fall festivals to really embrace all things autumn! Or maybe you’d rather just curl up with a good book. Oh, and have you checked out your fall horoscope?

Now, onto what you came here for… upcoming events in Pittsburgh!

The Fruits of Hate: A French City During the Holocaust Grand Opening

Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall, October 2
Previously titled Who is a Jew? Amiens, France, 1940-45, Dr. David Rosenberg’s international exhibition has already been featured at the University of Pittsburgh, the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, Bower Hill Community Church, Temple Emanuel, and Duquesne University. However, this will be the first time the exhibition is shown at a public library in the U.S. The exhibit delves into questions of official, cultural, and religious Jewish identity in the French city of Amiens from 1940-45 through personal correspondence, photos, and audio recordings.
