The REICH//JIMEK//QUOTATIONS concert by Radzimir Dębski and the Sinfonia Varsovia orchestra proved very popular, and so did the “Zamenhof” concert by Karolina Cicha and the Warsaw Sentimental Orchestra. A live audio play was staged for the second time during the festival. This time, Krzysztof Czeczot directed the mystical “Golem” based on fragments of Gustav Meyerink's novel with the unforgettable interpretation by Jerzy Trela as the narrator.

On Saturday night, Joanna Rajkowska and festival participants created an unusual artistic installation titled "Forcing a Miracle" in the Willy Brandt's Square, while the Museum hall was filled with the sounds of prewar Zamenhofa Street recreated by the POLIN Choir, which repeated its performance also on Sunday. On Sunday afternoon, multicultural cuisine lovers took part in a "Kogel-mogel" feast run by Robert Makłowicz, Maryla Musidłowska and Monika Kucia who introduced the participants to the realm of Jewish cuisine.

Also this year, the POLIN core exhibition was hacked by various artists. This time, we invited well-known writers to cooperate. On Saturday, a fairy tale by Justyna Bednarek was presented in the Jewish Town gallery, and a performance based on the text by Magdalena Kupryjanowicz took place in the Holocaust gallery. Visitors could also listen to a text by Mikołaj Grynberg in the Postwar Years gallery. Andrzej Stasiuk and Mikołaj Trzaska invited listeners to the world of literature in the Forest gallery on Sunday. Marcin Kącki prepared special video screenings interwoven with the exhibition's multimedia content in three galleries (On the Jewish Street, the Holocaust, and Postwar Years), giving them a completely new look.

The "Jew in the Polish language" debate also proved very popular. The intertwining of Yiddish and Polish and the meanings of the word ‘Jew’ were discussed by linguists Prof. Jerzy Bralczyk, Prof. Andrzej Markowski and Dr. hab. Katarzyna Kłosińska, as well as translator and writer Bella Szwarcman-Czarnota and translator Sergiusz Kowalski.

During the festival, we also took our guests on several tours of Warsaw. A sound tour for the visually impaired was organized in the Muranów district. City tour guides and migrants prepared and led their original tours of the city centre and Praga districts.

While working on our festival’s programme, we did not forget about our youngest guests and their carers. Entry to the King Matt's Family Educational Area was free throughout the festival weekend and a family orientation game was organized at the core exhibition. On Saturday, children had an opportunity to attend the premiere of animated films about prewar Zamenhofa Street.

In the Monument Room, we exhibited an unusual sample of our museum collection – “Follow the Storyline”,  a presentation of comics pages which show how Polish-Jewish relations are interpreted by comics authors. Until 4 December, you can admire the works by Rutu Modan, Jacek Michalski, Krzysztof Gawronkiewicz, Marek Raczkowski and others.

We would like to thank the residents of Muranów, Museum volunteers and online users for joint preparation of the Museum's anniversary program, and visitors for coming to celebrate the Museum's second anniversary with us. We already extend our invitation for the next year  – to the third edition of the Made in POLIN festival.
