Photo of the exhibition space

The exhibition is divided into seven parts, each one containing a strictly defined and thematically circumscribed group of objects. The histories of the individual items or groups of items form a universal history when presented together, symbolising the experiences making up the identity of the Polish Jew. To each group of objects has been dedicated a work of contemporary art. In a certain sense, art assumes the role of a medium between the ordinariness of things and the extraordinariness of the fates of the people connected with them. These works by Polish artists, known to the public from other exhibitions or art projects, supplement the main message of the individual narratives, using the language of art.
