We would like to invite you to the final – and unique – curatorial guide through the Galicia Jewish Museum temporary exhibition “Henryk Reiss Must Cease to Exist”. It will be a meeting with two curators, who will share their experiences from working on this special exhibition and its various additional contexts, interesting motifs, and the parts of the exhibit which are special to them.
The exhibition “Henryk Reiss Must Cease to Exist” presents the dramatic story of the Reiss family— Henryk, his wife Łucja, and their daughter Elżunia— who hid their Jewish identity during the Second World War and the Holocaust. The exhibition is based on Henryk Reiss’s postwar memoirs and the family’s collection of priceless documents. Nearly 50 artefacts will be on display, including one of the best preserved collections of “Aryan papers” used by a specific family.
In Polish. Free admission.
Space is limited. Please obtain a free ticket.
