Exhibitions

The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of the ghettos created by the Germans in occupied Europe, and at its peak nearly 450,000 Jews were confined there. The wall of the Warsaw ghetto, which divided two worlds – Jewish and Polish – under the German Nazi order, condemned Jews to isolation. The world outside the ghetto was hostile, and living within the walls condemned them to hunger, poverty and disease. Refugees and displaced persons were in a particularly difficult situation – uprooted and deprived of the support offered by familiar environment.

Fourteen selected stories illustrate how much courage and determination required both living in the ghetto and seeking help on the other side of the wall.
