From December 4th, 2006, an exhibition recapitulating an international project “Do not be afraid to know me…” is presented in the Opole town hall. The project was completed by the Opole OHP (Ochotnicze Hufce Pracy) Association in June 2006, in cooperation with the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland.
The main goal of the project was searching for traces of Jewish culture in the Opolskie province. On the exhibition there are photos of the surviving cemeteries and synagogues of the province, taken by participants of the project from Poland, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Germany.
Another result of the project is a folder “Relics of Jewish Culture in Opolskie Province”, elaborated in cooperation with the Foundation. The publication will soon be sent to libraries and museums of the Opolskie province; it can also be obtained from the International Cooperation Committee of the Opole OHP Association.
The project was financed by the European Union Youth Program, Action 1 - Youth for Europe.
