On 18 and 19 April, hundreds of people came to Bankowy Square to witness the virtual restoration of the Great Synagogue. The artist Gabi von Seltzman projected the image of the building destroyed by the Nazi’s after the fall of Ghetto Uprising on the office skyscraper standing on the same spot. The soundtrack included an archive recording of the Synagogue’s cantor, Gershon Sirota and the poem “Bashert” read by its author Irena Klepfisz, a daughter of one of the Uprising’s fighter and by Paula Sawicka, of the Open Republic. The project was made possible by the generous support of Andrzej and Małgorzata Rojek, Irena Kronhill Pletka and the Kronhill Pletka Foundation.
