The exhibition focuses on the often neglected contribution of people of Jewish origin from Germany and Poland to science, culture, art, business and society. Exhibits illustrate innovative ideas and achievements that have contributed to the modernisation and enrichment of today's societies in Germany and Poland. The exhibition presents visionary personalities such as Samuel Goldwyn (founder of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios), Helena Rubinstein ("pioneer of the cosmetics industry") and Jan Kiepura ("visionary of the democratisation of music"). Although their lives were often characterised by migration and questions of identity, their stories bring us closer to the positive aspects of complex relationships.
As part of "TACHELES - Year of Jewish Culture in Saxony 2026"
In cooperation with the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN in Warsaw and the Wrocław City Museum
