Helena and Maria. A Story on “Aryan Papers”, Friendship, and Memory. Meeting with Krystyna Nowak

Led by: Dr. Katarzyna Suszkiewicz

In 1995, Maria Nowak (1920-2020), a pharmacist from Kraków, was awarded the Righteous Among the Nations medal for saving the life of her school friend, Helena Goldstein (1920-1986). We would like to invite you to a meeting with Krystyna Nowak, Maria’s daughter, who will tell us more about the tragic fate of Helena and her family, how Maria saved Helena, and how this story is remembered and communicated today. During the meeting, we will present an excerpt of an interview conducted with Maria Nowak in 2011 at the Galicia Jewish Museum.

This event is part of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

In Polish. Free admission.
Space is limited. Registration required: zapisy@galiciajewishmuseum.org
