Calling a spade a spade. The Holocaust in Polish folk art
All the works were collected by Louis Galinski and the entire collection shows folk art from different periods of Polish history. For the exhibition in the Salmen, 17 objects were selected that deal with the Holocaust period.
Polish folk sculpture originally came from Polish villages and was characterized by religiosity and the personal faith of the artists. Even today, traditional religious symbols can be found in the works.
