TEMPORARY EXHIBITION: THE FOREST - REFUGE OF VICTIMS. HIDEOUT OF CRIME.
The exhibition explores the history of World War II from the perspective of forest complexes: their significance in the defensive war, as places of refuge for victims, fortresses of partisan resistance, and also as sites of atrocities. The forest is presented as an essay in exhibition form, interdisciplinary in nature, merging history with art and ecology. The forest, a primordial home and natural habitat supporting human life, was tainted by crime during the war. While it helped some to survive, it also conceals the secrets of victims' deaths.
The aim of the exhibition is to commemorate the victims on the 85th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, with a focus on events that took place in forested areas.
