The project “Presenting the Temporary Exhibition Sweet Home Sweet. A Story of Survival, Memory, and Returns at the Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre in South Africa” received funding from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland as part of the “Promoting Polish Culture Abroad” program.

The aim of the project is to produce and present the educational temporary exhibition Sweet Home Sweet. A Story of Survival, Memory, and Returns at the Cape Town Holocaust and Genocide Centre, one of the most important South African museums devoted to the Holocaust and genocide.

The exhibition focuses on three generations of the Ores family and their attitudes towards Poland. It allows viewers to deepen their knowledge on the transfer of Holocaust memory and narratives from generation to generation and depicts relations with Poland from the perspective of the Survivors’ children and grandchildren.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a program of events (lectures, film screenings, etc.) to strengthen the message and present a positive image of Poland as a country which has been a home for the Jewish community for centuries, and being a place of the rebirth of Jewish life in Europe today.

This project is co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland from the Culture Promotion Fund.
