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.

The tour will be led by Miriam Levy, Henryk Reiss’ granddaughter and Tomasz Strug, the exhibition curator.

This event is part of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
