ABOUT THE PROJECT
The exhibition entitled “History Regained – Jewish Life in Wrocław and Lower Silesia” was first presented on May 6, 2010, in the newly renovated White Stork Synagogue in Wrocław. The opening of the exhibition was part of the events marking the completion of the first phase of the project to restore the synagogue building to the Wrocław community as a Center for Jewish Education and Culture.
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The mission of the Bente Kahan Foundation is to promote the ideas of mutual respect and human rights, from the perspective of the tragic experiences of European Jews during World War II.
The Bente Kahan Foundation, established in 2006 with the aim of restoring Jewish heritage, was responsible for the restoration of the White Stork Synagogue (2010), the shul/small synagogue (2015), the mikveh/ritual bath (2018), and the Educational Center located in the synagogue’s basement. Additionally, in 2017, the FBK conducted archaeological excavations on the site of the New Synagogue, built in 1872 and destroyed during Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938.
