In the footsteps of Jews in the Lublin region. Report from the JHI study trip
From 13-15th June 2022, employees of the Jewish Historical Institute went on a study trip to the Lublin region. We saw an exhibition devoted to the memory of the Jews from Lublin at the “Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” Centre, the reconstruction of the Wołpa synagogue in Biłgoraj, took a look at the Jewish cemeteries in Chełm and Lublin, and went to the station from which Jews from Zamość were deported. The most important points were visits to the former Majdanek concentration camp and extermination centre, and the former Sobibór and Bełżec extermination camps.

"Dancers 1944. Mieczysław Wejman." Visit our temporary exhibition
‘The artist’s works in the years 1943–1944, between the July 1942 “Gross Aktion” (Great Action or Operation, namely the deportation and mass murder of Jews from the Jewish quarter), the Ghetto Uprising (April 1943) and the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising (August 1st 1944) became one of the most important Polish artistic documents recording the German occupation – especially the Holocaust,’ writes Dr. Piotr Rypson, curator of the temporary exhibition “Dancers 1944. Mieczysław Wejman”.
Dance in the fire of war. Report from the opening of the exhibition “Dancers 1944. Mieczysław Wejman”
On May 26, we opened the temporary exhibition “Dancers 1944. Mieczysław Wejman”, presenting a unique series of graphics by the artist and witness of the Holocaust in the Warsaw Ghetto, created at the beginning of 1944, when Wejman was hiding from the Germans. This is the first such extensive presentation of the artist’s works from the war period. Read the report from the exhibition opening.
Who is that dancing beneath the wall? "Dancers 1944. Mieczysław Wejman"
Dancers, actors, actresses, acrobats. “Misfits who cover up something and reveal something in dance positions or circus tricks, assume and change roles, perform their dance steps alone or interact with the crowd through dance”. From May 27, 2022, you can visit the JHI's new temporary exhibition "Dancing 1944. Mieczysław Wejman", devoted to a unique series of prints from the occupation period. Who was Mieczysław Wejman? What do his works say about the experience of the war and the fate of Jews in Warsaw?

We found the oldest Hebrew book printed in a Jewish publishing house in Warsaw
Interesting discoveries happen in every library and the JHI library is no exception. This time I came across a work Rishmey Sheela, published in Warsaw, by Israel Moshe ben Arie Leib, a rabbi in Zabłudów. The Hebrew year [5]571, given in the chronogram, is the year 1811 in the Gregorian calendar. The volume belonging to the collection of the Jewish Historical Institute is the oldest book printed in Hebrew in Warsaw by a Jewish printer.

On 20 April 2021, Celina Romańska and Józefa Pawłucka were posthumously recognized as Righteous Among the Nations thanks to, among others, reports belonging to the Archives of the Jewish Historical Institute.
