Temporary exhibition “Around us a sea of fire. The Fate of Jewish Civilians During the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”
For the first time, the POLIN Museum tells the unknown side of the uprising, giving voice to the civilians who hid in the ghetto. Despite the despair, hunger, fear, inhuman conditions, they fought for every single “day, hour, minute”. Their resistance was as crucial as the armed kind. The exhibition will run from 18 April 2023 to 8 January 2024. The author of the concept of the exhibition is Prof. Barbara Engelking, who runs the Polish Academy of Sciences’ Centre for Holocaust Research, and Zuzanna Schnepf-Kołacz of the POLIN Museum as curator. The exhibition is co-organised by the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute of Poland and the Centre for Holocaust Research.
Event duration: April 17, 2023 – January 8, 2024
