We need to leave something behind for the world. Beyond the Diary of Renia Spiegel, Opening of a Visiting Exhibition of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow

Thursday, 4 September 2025 at 5:00 PM in the Central Unit of the Maribor Library and Reading Room (TC City, Ulica Vita Kraigherja 5)

The exhibition dedicated to Renia Spiegel presents the life, feelings and experiences of a Polish Jewish teenager who wrote a moving diary during World War II. This precious document of childhood, growing up and wartime fate, which was only discovered in a family heirloom in 2012, has become, after decades of silence, one of the most powerful testimonies of the Holocaust through the eyes of a young woman. The exhibition, conceived by the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, will be on display until 24 October 2025, during the office hours of the central unit of the Maribor Library.
