-          „We are Eternal Trees. Stories about the Survivors from the Łódź Ghetto “ [PL/ENG] (opening on August 26 at 5pm)

The exhibition entitled "We are the eternal trees... stories from the Łódź ghetto" presents biographies of ten out of more than 630 Holocaust Survivors, whose symbolic Trees of Remembrance are located in the Survivors' Park, including Lucjan Dobroszycki, editor of the first "Chronicle of the Łódź ghetto", singer from the ghetto Jankiel Herszkowicz and writer Zeni Larsson, who published several books about the Łódź ghetto in Swedish. Their fate was not always the same. During World War II, most of them found themselves in the Jewish district established by the Germans in February 1940 in the Old Town and Bałuty. In the Łódź ghetto, they experienced the death of their loved ones, the despair of parting with their family, hunger and later deportation to Auschwitz and other camps. Others, such as Stefan Skotnicki, left Łódź in the first months of the war and returned here only in 1945. The post-war choices made by those who survived were also diverse: some stayed in Poland and tried to rebuild their lives, others left their homeland to look for their place in another part of Europe or the world. Today, their children and grandchildren speak different languages and live on almost every continent. The Survivors' Park symbolically connects them with Łódź. And it shows the triumph of life over death and love over hatred.
