Exhibition “Left behind. Janina Katz and the Polish Jews in Denmark”

Publié le 20 January 2026

Until 5 April 2026 at the Danish Jewish Museum

Known for its rare courage during the war, Denmark also welcomed 3,000 Jews in the early 1970s. This exhibition recounts this historic moment through the writings of Polish Jewish author Janinas Katz (1939-2013). Her writings evoke the Holocaust as well as the discrimination and anti-Semitic measures imposed by the Polish communist regime that forced this exile. The author was honoured with the Danish Arts Foundation’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002.
