Amid growing European anti-Semitism, new Jewish museum in Poland ‘reveals hope’

Iako raste antisemitizam u Europi, novi Ćidovski muzej u Poljskoj obnavlja nadu

WARSAW, Poland (JTA) — In a Europe wracked by fears of rising anti-Semitism, and in a country whose Jews were all but annihilated in the Holocaust, a dazzling new “museum of life” celebrates the Jewish past and looks forward to a vital future. Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski and Israeli President Reuven Rivlin on Tuesday jointly inaugurated the long-awaited core exhibit of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, a more than $100 million complex first conceived more than 20 years ago.



“It is not a museum of the Holocaust, it is a museum of life,” Rivlin, who was making his first trip abroad since his election this summer, declared at the opening ceremony. “It is the place that commemorates everything that is gone and will never return. And it reveals hope for a different future.”


U Europi,  koja je prestrašena od rastućeg antisemitizma,  i u zemlji u kojoj su Židovi uništeni u Holokaustu- krasno novi "muzej života" proslavlja židovsku prošlost i gleda naprijed u bolju budućnost. Poljski predsjednik Bronislaw Komorowski i izraelski predsjednik Reuven Rivlin su,  u utorak,  zajedničlki otvorili dugo očekivanu izložbu u POLIN muzeju povijesti poljskih Židova, koji je stajao više od 100 milijuna dolara i zamišljen pred više od 20 godina.

"To nije muzej Holokausta, to je muzej života", rekao je Rivlin, koji je načinio svoj prvi posjet od kad je izabran ovog ljeta."To je mjesto koje komemorira sve što je bilo ,  da se nikada  ne vrati  i otvara nadu u drugačiju budućnost" .Komorowski je naglasio iste nade, i kazao da je otvorenje  muzeja  povijesni događaj koji je svjedočanstvo razvoja Poljske u demokratsku državu,  nakon pada komunizma.


Prije Holoakusta  u Poljskoj  je živjelo oko 3,3 milijuna Židova.Tisuće su Židova bježale zbog antiseitizma  i poslije rata. Pad komunizma je omogućio znatno obnavljanje židovskog života i identiteta, ali je židovska populacija u Poljskoj još uvijek mala, procjenjuje se na 15.-20.000,  u zemlji koja ima gotovo 40 milijuna stanovnika.

The museum is housed in a shimmering glass building erected on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto facing the dramatic monument erected atop the rubble left when the Nazis crushed the ghetto uprising in 1943. Described as a “theatre of history,” the core exhibit uses state-of-the-art technology and multimedia installations to narrate 1,000 years of Polish Jewish history. The exhibition’s eight thematic and chronological galleries detail the complex ebb and flow of Jewish life in Poland from the early middle ages to the present, including periods of prosperity as well as persecution.....


The museum’s impact “stretches way, way beyond the building,” said Piotr Kadlcik, president of the Union of Jewish Religious Communities in Poland. “And it’s not about a museum of the history of Polish Jews — it’s about Polish Jews. History means past, and it’s not about the past.”....
