On Tour
Blood: Uniting & Dividing
At Galicia Jewish Museum Kraków, until 31 October 2018
Previously at POLIN Museum Warsaw, 13 October 2017 – 29 January 2018
This cutting edge exhibition examines the provocative and complex subject of blood. Blood draws together art, film and literature to present a rich exploration of how blood can unite and divide.
Looking at the theme through the lens of Jewish religion, culture and history, the exhibition reflects on how blood is an essential part of life as well as integral to rituals about food, sex, and circumcision.

The Holocaust and Second World War
Champion of the Child – Janusz Korczak
A pioneer of children’s rights and a key influence in the 1979 UN Convention on Children’s Rights, Janusz Korczak (1879-1942) devoted his life to the rights and well-being of children, regardless of nationality or religion. This exhibition tells the inspirational story of his life and work with the children of Warsaw, his death – together with the orphans in his care – at the hands of the Nazis, and his continuing legacy worldwide. It raises challenging issues relating to children’s rights today.

This exhibition tells the story of Eva, her brother Heinz, and the artistic talent he cultivated in captivity and she salvaged from obscurity through reproductions of his astonishing paintings.
