Meetings with witnesses to history

Meeting with history witnesses is, for many of our visitors, the highpoint of their entire Polish experience. Stories told by elderly people who have been through so much make an impact on young people and alter their outlook.

Meetings in the Galicia Jewish Museum are organized with the intent to provide a friendly atmosphere for witnesses, one that makes them comfortable to tell their stories and answer all kinds of questions from the audience afterwards. Meetings are translated by employees of the museum who are experienced in working with survivors and Righteous Among the Nations medal recipients and have a background on the subject.
