— a Holocaust survivor child herself. The juxtaposition of archival photographs with contemporary portraits added emotional strength to memories of the children and added a contemporary, positive conclusion to their story. The result is an exhibition about life.
THE BOARDS
The boards were exhibited first in the POLIN Museum in Warsaw in April 2015.
Nearly three months later,
the exhibition was shown during Singer's Warsaw Festival in Warsaw and began to travel to other places in Poland, as well as all over the world.
MOVIE
The boards of the exhibition are accompa-
nied by an animation video. Usually, both are displa-
yed in the same room, but the animation is also sometimes exhibited as
a separate, isolated part of the project.
WEBSITE
For those who cannot see the exhibition.
In addition to the opportunity to familiarize oneself with the memories of the survivor children, the website informs about upcoming exhibitions and other events related to the project.
ALBUM
The album is a publication accompanying the exhibition.
It presents the stories of rescued children in Polish, English, and German. It serves to promote the educational activities of the Association abroad.
