Until 11 January 2026 at the Jewish Historical Institute

This exhibition explores both the importance of texts in monotheistic religious heritage and the Torah as a work of art. What messages do the ornaments and different representations of the scrolls and ritual objects surrounding them convey in different Jewish communities over time? The exhibition also explores the particular care taken by the Nazis to defile and destroy both the texts and the ritual objects that protected them. Most of the objects on display come from the JHI and other Polish institutions.
