“Opening the Silence”

The film presented here is the culmination of a long-term project of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum Education Department, aimed at high schools in the area of former ghetto. The aim of this initiative was to reconstruct the place where the school is located today. For this purpose, the memories of contemporary witnesses, iconography as well as written sources – archival, scientific and journalistic or personal documents – were used. “Opening the Silence” was created in collaboration with the students and teachers of the 17th Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski High School with bilingual sections in Warsaw.
