“Henryk Reiss Must Cease to Exist” exhibition

Publié le 25 August 2025

Until 31 March 2026 at the Jewish Museum of Galicia

This new exhibition presents the dramatic story of the Reiss family during the Holocaust. Unlike most of their relatives, who were murdered, Lucja and Henryk Reiss managed to obtain false papers and hide during the war. More than 50 objects tell this moving story and give visitors a better understanding of the difficulties of surviving in such conditions at that time. They had to constantly change locations, travelling through Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to escape the Nazis.
