Until 16 December 2023 at the Polin Museum

The works of Mayer Kirshenblatt provide a better understanding of the life of a child in the shtetl on the eve of the Second World War. The exhibition will explore the transmission of Jewish history, particularly in towns where their presence is only written in the past tense. Pieces of wood from the old houses of the Opatow shtetl, which are in the process of being demolished, will be presented to the public as part of a debate on memory.

The exhibition is produced with the support of Tad Taube and Taube Philanthropies, The CBRAT Foundation in loving memory of Joseph and Miriam Ratner.
