Really good perspective from a families point of view during the war. Taken from diary input and some wax drawings to depict their story gives you an immersive experience. Would highly recommend this!
A fascinating photographic story about Jewish history over the past 100 years, with each section focusing on a different aspect of life, the holocaust and recent renaissance in the city. More interesting than the rather predictable Schindler factory, but do visit both to see for yourself
It was an excellent experience. we learned about Jews in Poland during WW2, specially in Galicija, by reading the story of Pisek family. A moving story. The museum also celebrates the Jewish culture and it features an interesting photographic exhibition. There’s a coffee shop and a book store.
Great museum, absolutely clear in its approach and its structure. I learned a lot about Jewish life and death in Galicia throughout the decades.
We spent our time here carefully reading through the panels which told the story of a Jewish family in Krakow at the start of the second World War.
They survived an extraordinary journey which ended when they were settled in what became the State of Israel.
They were sent from Krakow by the Russians rather than the Germans and so their story unravels rather differently to what we would expect.
I'm not sure how long this exhibition is on but I'd certainly recommend it.
