As we anticipated in an earlier post, the Museum of Mazovian Jews (Muzeum Zydow Mazowieckich) has opened in the restored synagogue in Plock, Poland. It’s inauguration took place Thursday and the Museum is open to the public as of March 15. See photos of the opening ceremony HERE.
According to Polish Radio:
The concept was initially championed by local enthusiasts under the banner of the Plock Synagogue Association, but the realisation of the project was made possible thanks to EU funding, which covered 7.7 million zloty (1.8 million euro) of the ultimate 9 million zloty costs (2.1 million euro). Multimedia displays illuminate the history of Jews in the Masovia region, complemented by exhibits relating to Jewish religious ceremonies, customs, cuisine and music. A separate exhibition is devoted to the Holocaust.
