Dear Readers and Followers,

this November at the Jewish Historical Institute, we will be opening an exhibition dedicated to the work of Simon (Symcha) Trachter (1894–1942). The oeuvre we know so far comprises only 29 paintings and drawings.

We would like to kindly ask you for help in our search for the painter’s works. Our request is addressed primarily at collectors and private persons who may own Trachter’s works. If our announcement will lead to discovery of an unknown artwork, we would like to present it at our planned exhibition after suitable examination.

Please contact Mr. Jakub Bendkowski from the Art Department: jbendkowski@jhi.pl.

In the footsteps of Jews in the Lublin region. Report from the JHI study trip
From 13-15th June 2022, employees of the Jewish Historical Institute went on a study trip to the Lublin region. We saw an exhibition devoted to the memory of the Jews from Lublin at the “Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre” Centre, the reconstruction of the Wołpa synagogue in Biłgoraj, took a look at the Jewish cemeteries in Chełm and Lublin, and went to the station from which Jews from Zamość were deported. The most important points were visits to the former Majdanek concentration camp and extermination centre, and the former Sobibór and Bełżec extermination camps.
