Photographs from Jewish Poland – Galicia Jewish Museum mobile app

News from Galicia Jewish Museum:

The Galicia Jewish Museum’s mobile application aims to present the wide and complete spectrum of photographic projects dedicated to Polish Jewry. With one image at a time, we would like to broaden the knowledge of the work of great photographers who directed their lenses at Jewish Poland, but first of all – knowledge of Jewish history in Poland.

Regularly published photographs will be accompanied by captions, placing them in their historical and social context. With time, this carefully curated collection will become a visually powerful statement of Polish-Jewish history, allowing for an insightful look into Jewish past and present in Poland beyond the stereotypes and misconceptions.

The application will be online soon, so stay tuned so you won’t miss its launch! It will be accompanied by a program of online lectures and webinars, which will start in August and will run through December.
