During the creation of the exhibit Through the Eyes of Youth: Life and Death in the Będzin Ghetto and after its public opening in the Fall of 2014, the team working on the exhibit has been in touch with other Będzin survivors and their children. We like to tell some of their stories.

Please contact the Martin-Springer Institute if you can share with us your story or any materials we can post (photos, diaries, images of objects).
