The exhibition presents the context, causes and course of the antisemitic campaign of 1968, culminating in the expulsion of about 13,000 Poles of Jewish descent from the country. Inside the installation inspired by the hall of the Gdański Railway Station in Warsaw, you will have an opportunity to listen to the accounts of people forced to leave, as well as those who remained in Poland. Other sections focus on the life of refugees after leaving Poland. In addition to historical materials, various artworks demonstrate the mood and experience of the so-called March Generation. For example, you will see a painting Otarci (Scraped)by Leszek Sobocki and works by Maciej Bieniasz depicting theafterimages of the March events. A painting by Erna Rosenstein, Czaspogardy (Time of contempt) reflects on the gloomy, hostile atmosphere of the period. The exhibition explains the experience of March ’68 which is a timeless warning against passivity in face of discrimination, xenophobia and violation of human right.
