This exhibit focuses on Polish-Jewish artist Chaim Goldberg (1917-2004), who was born in the small shtetl of Kazimierz Dolny (some 250km north-east of Kraków). 'Discovered' at the age of 14, Goldberg attended Kraków's Mehoffer Art Academy before becoming the youngest student accepted to the Warsaw Academy of Fine Art in 1934. Escaping from a Nazi labour camp and surviving WWII in self-exile in Siberia, he returned to Poland, later emigrating to Israel and then the United States. Upon seeing the destruction of Jewish heritage in Poland in 1946 he decided to dedicate his artistic energy to creating a memorial to the lost world of his youth, creating some 1800 works depicting pre-war Jewish life in Poland. His large, colourful paintings revealing everyday shtetl life and landscapes, religious practise and celebrations, and Holocaust tragedy were motivated by a profound sense of purpose and present a perfect accompaniment to the Jewish historical landmarks of Kraków's <a href="http://www.inyourpocket.com/krakow/Kazimierz_70207f">Kazimierz</a> district. The exhibit is presented in Polish and English.
