ŻOLIBORZ GARDEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS
During walks through the Żoliborz neighborhood, participants experience a unique district of the city where many of its residents extended help and shelter to those who were in need. We visit the places that were the setting for their stories.
Why them? Why exactly here?
In search of the answers, during the associated workshops, we examine the motivations of those who, finding themselves in an extreme situation and risking their own lives, rescued others. Use is made of personal accounts, photographs, maps and other items.
Participation is free of charge, however places are limited.
