Marian Ruzamski – The Art of Remembrance
First monographic exhibition of Marian Ruzamski outside Poland
100 years after his last solo exhibition, and 80 years after his death, the work of artist Marian Ruzamski returns to the public eye. Although his life was overshadowed by war, persecution, and violence, his works tell a different story. His paintings are characterized by a profound humanity, everyday scenes, and an almost floating lightness—as if another, peaceful century were passing before us. The initiator of the exhibition was the great contemporary witness and Auschwitz survivor Marian Turski, who died on February 18, 2025. This exhibition is dedicated to him, who dedicated his life to preventing forgetting and to remembering the victims of Auschwitz.

The Holocaust in Comics and Graphic Novels
The Graphic Narrative as a Medium of Memory
Since March 9, 2025, the Center for Persecuted Arts shows a cabinet exhibition in the literature collection on comics and graphic novels about the Holocaust, which have developed into an important medium of remembrance culture in recent years. The private collection presented in the exhibition does not claim to be complete, but presents different approaches: from contemporary witness reports and biographical graphic novels to fictional stories that process historical events in artistic form.
