Lublin
One of a series of educational films about the history of Jewish communities in Polish cities. We want to remind people of how Lublin’s Jews lived and perished. To tell the story of Jewish life before World War II, how the Holocaust put an end to it, and to show contemporary efforts to “recover” it and preserve its memory. The film serves as a bridge between the past and the present, showing how the Jewish history of Lublin continues to influence the city’s identity and character.
The film has been made in a YouTube-style format and includes both animation and archival photos and video footage. Film is aimed at students in grades 7-8 of primary school and high school. The project was supported by the EEA Grants from Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, as well as by the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
