A MINI-LECTURE on... Creating the Museum of History of Polish Jews

Prof. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett is the head of the Core Exhibition team of the Museum of History of Polish Jews, scheduled to open in Warsaw, Poland in 2013.

On Nov. 7, 2011, Prof. Kirshenblatt-Gimblett gave an illustrated lecture at the Embassy of Poland about this unique museum, the first public-private institution of its kind in Poland - jointly established by Poland's government, local Warsaw government, and an NGO: the Jewish Historical Association in Warsaw, which initiated the project. We sat down with her before the event to learn about the museum, its significance and role.
