We invite you to submit abstracts to the “Histories of Violence in Central and Eastern Europe " conference. A Comparative Perspective”!

We have opened the exhibition “Underground: The Hidden Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto” at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum!

Another edition of the seminar for teachers and educators under the “Inspiring Culture” program of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has ended.

The history of the Jewish Military Union (Żydowski Związek Wojskowy – ŻZW) – a right-wing paramilitary organization, mostly composed of Zionist revisionists – and its participation in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising remains largely undiscovered. While leaders such as Paweł Frenkel, Leon Rodal and Dawid Wdowiński are already relatively well known (at least in the academic community), many members of the top management remain anonymous figures, worthy of a closer look. One of them is Dr. Michał Strykowski from Konin. In this text, I mainly focus on the pre-war period of his short, barely forty-year life.

The Museum of the Jewish Historical Institute collection has been enriched by a sketch for the painting “Ghetto with an Angel” by Isaak Celnikier from 1957. This valuable acquisition was donated to the Institute by the artist's family after the exhibition “»Minor Remnants from Solna Street«. Isaac Celnikier and the Holocaust Experience” curated by Zuzanna Benesz-Goldfinger.
