Description: Fritz Ascher, Expressionist (Berlin 1893-1970) is the first ever comprehensive retrospective of Fritz Ascher’s art. Surviving two world wars and Nazi persecution in Berlin, Ascher developed his unique artistic voice in paintings, works on paper and poems. The exhibition shows a representative group of ca. 75 works (25 paintings and 50 works on paper) spanning Fritz Ascher’s oeuvre from first academic studies to monumental Expressionist figure compositions to mature landscapes. While hiding in 1942-45, Ascher wrote poems that are included as “unpainted pictures.”

Services: Guided museum tours; interactive guided museum tours; Educational workshops and lectures on Jewish culture and tradition or Holocaust related topics; Meetings with Holocaust and concentration camp survivors or Righteous Among the Nations award recipients; Arts and crafts workshops; International youth exchanges; Seminars and training programs for teachers and tour guides; Book launches; Film screenings; Jewish dance workshops; Children and family programs; Guided walking tours of Jewish Krakow and Old Town; Private and group visits to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum; Jewish bookstore; Children and family programs; Café; Catering

Permanent Exhibition: At the heart of the Museum is the permanent exhibition, Traces of Memory: A Contemporary Look at the Jewish Past in Poland. The exhibition pieces together a picture of the relics and culture of Jewish life in Polish Galicia that can still be seen today, interpreting these traces in a manner that is informative, accessible, and thought-provoking. The exhibition offers a lament of the destroyed Jewish civilization that once flourished in this country, remembers the location where annihilation took place, and gives credit to commemorative efforts that have occurred since the Holocaust. As the exhibition document traces Jewish presence in dozens of places, it allows us to localize the story, relaying to visitors a narrative not of strangers but rather their former neighbors.
