Nine men - exiles, arrested on October 15 and 16, 1861 for participating in the celebration of the death anniversary of Tadeusz Kościuszko in Warsaw. They are Poles and Jews - participants of joint demonstrations of 1861, which went down in history as the time of exceptional fraternity of both nations.
The photo taken on the way to exile shows:
On November 13, we invite you to the new temporary exhibition “Shoulder to shoulder? Jewish involvement in Poland's aspirations for independence 1794-1918”.
Why were some Jews involved in the fight for Poland's return to the map of Europe? What discouraged others from being patriotic? We will tell about the heroes of national uprisings and those who adhered to traditional Judaism. About common struggles with the Russian enemy and brotherhood in exile.
