A Museum of Life

"A Museum of Life" is a film, which will document over five years of the process of creating the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw, Poland. The Museum, which had its groundbreaking ceremony in June 2007, will not be another Holocaust museum and will present the 1000-year history of Jewish life in Poland. It is financed by the Polish Government, the City of Warsaw, as well as private American and European donors.

"Where better to tell the story of a millennium of Jewish presence on Polish lands than in Poland?" - says Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett of New York University, the Head of the Museum's Core Exhibition Planning Team - "Such a museum is long overdue, but it comes at the right time."

To be a Jew in Poland (Jestem Zydem...)

This film offers a reflection on 'being Jewish in Poland' or, more specifically, on the moment of the discovery of one's Jewish roots. It is an attempt to present the complex situation of hundreds of people, who found themselves living in Poland, where after the war many survivors chose to silence their Jewish origin and where Jewish roots where often kept secret even from other members of the family. This was due to fear of humiliation, discrimination, or persecution. Tens of Polish Jews, or Poles of Jewish origin, participate in this project and the central question, which is asked of them is: "What does it mean to be Jewish in Poland today?" Among our interviewees are those who had been aware of their Jewishness from childhood, those who discovered it in early adulthood, but also those who only found out at a very advanced age. Most of them live in Poland today, while some emigrated. This film captures their shared experience and sheds light on some of the complexities involved in being a Polish Jew.

Jan Karski Documentary (Working title)

“What Karski did as a Polish Gentile to spread information about the Holocaust will always make him the best person to moderate this dialogue between Jews and Poles. Education is what’s needed to bring about change, and I see this film and the story of Karski’s life greatly facilitating this much-needed change." - Slawomir Grunberg
