During our tour of the exhibition we shall meet Jewish women who have been protecting their tradition for many centuries, but who also took steps towards obtaining education, engaged in creative work and became involved in politics as they looked for their place in a changing society. The event will also be available for the hearing impaired (We will provide individual induction loops) as well as for wheelchair users.

  • December 2, 3 PM, free admission, language: PL

The biographies of objects – workshops for persons with vision and hearing impairments and for the deaf

What are the stories behind the objects in the Museum collection? During our workshops, we shall make selected objects from our collection available so that participants may discover them by touch. Owing to our audio descriptions and recorded interviews with the witnesses of history, our visitors will be able to learn more about both the people and the museum pieces featured in our exhibition. Polish Sign Language translation and individual induction loops will be provided during the event.

  • December 2, 6 PM, free admission, language: PL
