They Came to Stay: Polish Jews

The exhibition shows the journey of Jews into Poland, the longevity, various facets and ways
of their life there. The main focus is the intellectual contribution of Polish Jews to the Polish
society, world culture, and Judaism.
In spite of the tragedy of World War II and the Holocaust, Jews by no means left
Poland completely. Their descendants, though few in number, have been reconnecting openly
with Jewish life since the 1980s. Many non-Jewish Poles have started to study Jewish ways
and Jewish imprint on Polish history and culture. Jewish Poles and non-Jewish Poles are
working together to preserve remnants of the past and to enrich contemporary Jewish culture
and life in Poland.
The exhibition is based on the collections of the Jewish Historical Institute, in cooperation with the Orange Foundation.
