The exhibition presents drawings of Polish children created in 1946, who experienced the Nazi German occupation, and drawings of Ukrainian children created during the current armed conflict in Ukraine,
in result of Russia’s aggression against that country. The exhibition shows a touching picture of the horrors of war seen through the eyes of a child, regardless of time and place. It therefore has a universal and timeless character. It is an anti-war manifesto which confronts the viewer with terror and tragedy of war.
The exhibition is part of a joint Polish-Ukrainian undertaking “1939-45 POLAND / 2022 UKRAINE” run by the Polish State Archives and “Mom I see war” project curated by dr. Dorota Sadowska, University of Warsaw and Prof. Olha Kulinich, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
The exhibition can be seen in front of the museum and is free of charge.
