The Jewish People have lived in the region now known as Poland for almost 1,000 years. During these centuries, they have practiced their religious traditions whenever possible. Among these is the placement of a Mezuzah, which contains verses of the torah on parchment on the door posts of their homes. Learn about what happened to these Mezuzahs during the Holocaust, and how the founders of Warsaw’s Mi Polin Art Gallery and Studio are finding and preserving remnants of these Mezuzahs in bronze.
