Museum Night 2024 in Halle and Leipzig

The Dubnow Institute is once again taking part in the Museum Night in Halle and Leipzig this year. On Saturday, May 4, 2024, the institute and the exhibition »The Determining Gaze« can be visited from 6 p.m. to midnight. At 11 p.m., we will be offering a guided tour of the exhibition in English.

The exhibition at the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow showcases photographs of Jewish life in Poland immediately after the Holocaust. It emerged in cooperation with the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, which holds one of the most important collections on Polish Jewish history. A unique photographic collection consisting especially of photo albums offers insights into the ambivalence of the first postwar years.
