Centropa’s traveling exhibition, "A Century of Jewish Memory," tells the stories of families from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia through photos and first-person descriptions on 50 canvases, organized around themes such as: On Vacation, At Leisure, In the Army, At Work, Religious Life, and Holocaust. 

Based on the photos and stories presented on these roll-ups we offer various educational methods on how best to implement these contents into education, and we also .ask for the input of the teachers: this way they develop educational solutions that are most useful for their purposes.

This exhibition is filled with stories about childhood, school, love, marriage, building a family, and also about how people survived the Holocaust, how they could start their lives over. It focuses on individual family stories rather than the Holocaust itself, and it helps to understand history from their unique perspectives.

“A Century of Jewish Memory” is meant to be like a giant photographic family album you can walk through. It is filled with stories that will make you laugh, and others are very sad indeed. This exhibition is not to look at, it is to engage with.
