Governor Josh Shapiro visited the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History for a tour of The Moment the Music Stood Still: The Nova Music Festival Exhibition alongside business leaders, elected officials, and leaders from various faith communities in recognition of the first anniversary of the October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.
The exhibition includes both interior and exterior installations aimed at memorializing the victims of the Hamas-led massacre, including personal belongings of festivalgoers, such as burned cars, bullet-riddled structures, and objects left behind by survivors of the attack at the Nova Music Festival.
To commemorate the first anniversary of the October 7th attacks, Governor Shapiro led a delegation of business leaders, elected officials, and leaders from various faith communities through the exhibit, including Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis and Senator Bob Casey. Before the tour, Governor Shapiro, Lt. Gov. Davis, and Sen. Casey met with Sigal Manzuri and members of her family, whose two daughters, Norelle and Roya, attended the Nova Music Festival and were killed on October 7, 2023 – to hear their stories of strength and remembrance.
