The exhibition "Marek Edelman. The Man" is a story about a hero, who did not want to be a hero, but history made him one. A story of a man, who in his life learned everything about death which is why he was aware of how precious every moment in life was and would always struggle for it.   

Marek Edelman: doctor, socio-political activist, one of the uprising leaders in Warsaw Ghetto, decorated with the Commander's Cross of the Legion of Honour and the title of Doctor Honoris Causa of many universities.

The exhibition not only introduces Marek Edelman himself, but also – takes us through his life. It presents the last 100 years of Polish, European and world history. His views and life attitude can become a kind of moral compass for young people.

The exhibition "Marek Edelman. The Man" is the most important element of the celebration of the Marek Edelman Year.

"Man Overboard. Lodz Residents 50 Years after March" is an interdisciplinary project of a universal and multifaceted character. The result of the project are multimedia exhibitions where participants talk about their lives, their emigration experiences and their integration in host communities.

Since these exhibitions have both a historical and educational dimension, they will be presented for a longer period than just a limited time exhibition commemorating the anniversary of the selected event. The project ‘Man overboard. Łódź residents 50 years after March’ "aims to present the fate of Jews from Łódź who left Poland during this period. The title of the project "Man overboard" symbolizes their struggle for survival in a foreign environment “without a life jacket ".

The Danish Cultural Institute has decided to take on the patronage of the "Man overboard" project. The project manager is Bogusława Sochańska, Head of the Danish Cultural Institute in Warsaw.

The Polish Embassy in Copenhagen expressed official support and interest in the project. The embassy together with the ambassador, Mrs. Henryka Mościcka-Dendys is the official project supervisor.
