PERMANENT EXHIBITION Permanent exhibition

All museums resemble one another a little. It often happens they represent a collection of things united by this or that principle and displayed in glass cases. This is not relevant to our museum. It is different. It is interactive. It is hard to determine what it resembles more – a museum or an entertainment park.

The information which the exposition is meant to communicate to its visitors is presented in different ways. It has volume. It envelopes people penetrating into their consciousness, it influences almost all senses. This became possible thanks to the use of modern computer and audiovisual technologies. The architectural constructions are designed to complete the exposition and to intensify the involvement of a visitor into the atmosphere of an excursion, they create the sense of immersion into the past.

The Lonka Project: Numbered
virtual tour The Lonka Project: Numbered

The exhibition comprises over 60 photographs of Shoah survivors. The history of the Lonka Project dates back to 2018. Dr. Eleonora (Lonka) Nass, a Holocaust survivor herself, has barely related her experiences to her children.

After her mother’s death, Rina and her husband Jim Hollander, both photojournalists reporting on the Middle East, came up with an initiative to preserve the Holocaust survivors’ stories by having their photo-portraits taken and documenting their memories. Rina and Jim asked their fellow professional photographers to produce the portraits of Shoah survivors. There were no strict requirements for the pictures: it could be a colour or black-and-white photo, taken from any angle or perspective. The international photo community has responded with enthusiasm: over 300 photographers from 30 countries have participated in the project. Among them are members of the Magnum Photos agency Alec Soth, Gilles Peress; World Press Photo award winners Ed Kashi and Jane Evelyn Atwood.
