The exhibition is dedicated to three generations of the Ores family and their relationship with Poland. It delves into the transmission of Holocaust memory and narratives from generation to generation and reveals the relationship of the children and grandchildren of survivors with Poland. It also raises important questions about the relationships between Poles and Jewish survivors and their families, aiming to understand these contemporary connections.
The keynote address will be delivered by Tomasz Strug, Deputy Director and Chief Curator of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow.
The "Sweet Home Sweet" exhibition, the original version of which was created at the Galicia Jewish Museum, was co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund.
