Exhibition "Living On" Opens in Wrocław

Consul General Anne Hall talking to Bente Kahan, the Center for Jewish Culture and Education at White Stork Synagogue

In celebration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day Consul General Anne Hall opened the exhibition “Living On / Którzy przeżyli” at the Wroclaw Public Library on January 28. The exhibit was co-organized with the White Stork Synagogue and The Center for Jewish Culture and Education. "Living On" delivers an inspiring message of the victory of life over death by telling the stories of Holocaust survivors, liberators, prisoners of war, and witnesses who came from or moved to the state of Tennessee.  Most of the photographs shown feature individuals born within the borders of pre-World War II Poland or whose major experience of the war was on Polish soil.  Each photograph is accompanied by the person’s story in Polish and English.  "Living On" shows how deeply this dark period of history continues to touch all of us in ways that link us, Poles and Americans alike – even in just one of the fifty states of the United States of America. The American Embassy and American Consulate brought the exhibition to Poland from the United States in cooperation with the Tennessee Holocaust Commission. 
“Living On / Którzy przeżyli” will be shown at the Wroclaw Public Library until the end of February.
