Exhibition of Drohobycz Boryslaw Jews

On the 75th anniversary of the Nazi occupation of Drohobycz, Boryslaw and Galicia our exhibition will be opening at Beit Beit Hatfutsot.

The exhibition deals with the unique story of the Jewish communities of the two towns and the surrounding villages, their involvement in the oil industry and its influence on their life and the Holocaust.

This is a travelling exhibition. It has been shown in Wroclaw, Poland, it then carried on to the memorial museum in the Belzec Concentration camp and from there to Walbrzych and Dzierżoniów. In Germany the exhibition is on view in Cologne since January 2016.

In Boryslaw the exhibition was shown in the municipal museum and in Drohobycz it is planned to open in June at the newly refurbished Great Synagogue.

This is a must-see for all our families.
