10 Polish Cities—Ten Jewish Stories

The exhibition “10 Polish Cities—Ten Jewish Stories” is the second permanent exhibition at the Galicia Jewish Museum in the Taube Family Gallery. The exhibition was created in cooperation with Centropa, one of chief partners of the Galicia Jewish Museum. It was based on materials gathered by Centropa: personal stories and family photographs of ten Polish Jews who told their stories of growing up in interwar Poland, surviving the Shoah, and their post-war fates. The captions of this exhibition are mostly created from quotes: these are excerpts from interviews with the heroes of the exhibition, which were conducted by Centropa representatives. The authors intentionally give the voice to the heroes, adding only explanations that are necessary to understand a specific story. This makes the heroes' experience of the 20th century fully heard.
