“Who Are the Righteous?” – Workshops for Seniors

Redakcja / Editorial staff / English translation: Andrew Rajcher, 5th October 2018

“Whoever saves one life, save the world entire”, a sentence from the Talmud, is engraved on the medal which is awarded to the Righteous Among the Nations. During these workshops, we will talk about those who, selflessly, extended help to Jews during World War II. We will present selected stories of rescuers and survivors. We will show photographs and witness accounts collected by POLIN Museum as part of its project www.sprawiedliwi.org.pl.
