On the 80th anniversary of World War II, the POLIN Museum is looking at what happened after the war -- how did families devestated by horror and destruction try to rebuild? Deprived of nearly everything—their nearest and dearest, their community and their home—they faced a dramatic choice: to stay or to leave. This exhibit will trace the dilemmas and life paths of Polish Jews through the lives of select people via their personal biographies. The exhibition will also examine the fate of those who chose to leave Poland, as many did after the war.
