The Stories behind New Acquisitions in the Collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague
The Stories behind New Acquisitions in the Collections of the Jewish Museum in Prague

Summary/Abstract: Over the last two years, the Jewish Museum in Prague (JMP) has seen an increased interest from the public in sharing information and material related to the fate of family, relatives, friends, neighbours, or acquaintances who were defined as Jews under the Nuremberg Laws and who were subject to racial persecution. We have also been repeatedly approached by contributors to our earlier project Nalezené tváře [Long-lost Faces] and by visitors to our exhibition series Od té doby věřím na osud [Since Then I Believe in Fate], which focused on the transports of Protectorate Jews to Nazi-occupied Poland, Belarus and the Baltic States. Material is donated to the JMP both on the initiative of donors and through our own activities, which involve personal meetings with potential donors, Shoah survivors and their family members.
