The meeting began with a guided tour of the permanent exhibition “'What we’ve been unable to shout out to the world” led by Zuzanna Schnepf-Kołacz, Deputy Director for Programme.

The Ambassador then visited the JHI’s vault, where Agnieszka Reszka, Head of our Institute’s Archives, introduced him to the Ringelblum Archives. Finally, our guest viewed the results of the conservation work carried out by Maciej Stasiewicz (conservator at the Jewish Historical Institute) for our upcoming temporary exhibition “Images of Identity. The Collection of Berlin’s Pre-War Jewish Museum”.
