about the project
Thanks
50 panels containing stories of children who have survived the Holocaust and 20 panels dedicated to the rescuers of Jews are mixed with historical context panels.
A huge portion of text and visual material including testimonies of children, stories and archive pictures have been uploaded to the computer terminal of the exhibit. All the information of this unique exposition is presented in a DVD.
