Two new online exhibitions:
On One Clear Day – The Story of Jewish Wolbrom
On 5 September 1942, the Jews of Wolbrom, Poland, were rounded up by the Germans and their collaborators. By the end of the next day, a flourishing community of thousands of Jews had ceased to exist.

Through video clips, photos, stories and testimonies, “On One Clear Day” weaves together poignant memories of a vital community that had existed for over four centuries, its tragic fate during the Holocaust, and the determined efforts since the end of the war to remember and commemorate the people and their existence in that small town.

Connecting the Dots

A suitcase inscribed with the words “Margarete Sara Katz, Magdeburg” provided the only clue as to the identity of its owners who arrived at the Warsaw ghetto in May 1942. Yad Vashem’s painstaking and determined efforts to recover their identities began with the suitcase, and have resulted in a remarkable exhibition—created to accompany the launch of the Shoah-Related Lists Database—comprising film clips, documents, Pages of Testimony and photos.

This new lecture series features insights and perspectives of Yad Vashem’s researchers and historians, with further links to related exhibitions, suggested bibliographies and lexicon entries. Dr. David Silberklang, Editor-in-Chief of Yad Vashem Studies and Israel’s representative on the Academic Working Group of the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, begins the series by exploring various issues surrounding the Allied response to the Holocaust. Placing the Allies in the context of the “bystanders” in the Shoah, the lecture examines their responses and decision-making, including the question of the bombing of Auschwitz in 1944.
