The POLIN Museum at World Youth Day
This will be a unique opportunity, in Warsaw, to visit the POLIN Museum's traveling "Museum on Wheels" - an interactive portable exhibition which, since 2014, has traveled to many smaller cities and has been at several festivals in Poland. The exhibition endeavours to answer basic questions about the culture and history of Polish Jews, and supports those who are active in preserving their local Jewish legacy. Throughout this year, the exhibition is still scheduled to visit another twenty four localities.
A map, at the Warsaw exhibition, will be linked to our interactive virtual exhibition Dobry adres (A Good Address), through which the "Museum on Wheels" tells the story of Poles rescuing Jews during the Holocaust.
21st-24th July, 10.00am-8.00pm, ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście, at the Adam Mickiewicz monument, admission free
The Walk:
Remembrance – a Walk Around Muranów
During the walk around this former Jewish inner-north suburban district, we will see several traces of its past existence. We will visit places recalling the ghetto and understand the importance of southern Muranów, rebuilt from its ruins on the ruins of the ghetto. How is Muranów different from other European Jewish districts and how will its character change into the future?
Online books are essential:
23rd and 24th July at 4:00pm, meet at ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście 21/23 (Kino Kultura), participation is free (English language)
