Ghetto Burning | Open-Air Exhibition

A temprorary open-air exhibition Ghetto Burning is based on Tomasz Bereźnicki’s comic book under the same name. The exhibition will be available on Grzybowski Square in Warsaw till the end of December, 2023. Curator: Paweł Freus.

Tomasz Bereźnicki’s publication is one of a handful of graphic novels in Polish about the dramatic plight of the Warsaw Ghetto insurgents. What makes it even more extraordinary is the fact that we learn about the tragic events of 1943 through the story of three young Jewish girls, former playmates, who decide to put up armed resistance against Nazi terror. The story is narrated by Daniela, a liaison and nurse with the Jewish Combat Organisation, who has miraculously survived the German raid on the bunker at 18 Miła St.

The publication marks the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. We hope that it will remain a long-time testimony of the commemorations.
