Entering the third hall of the Museum, called “The World after the Holocaust,” you can see a fault line. It divided human life into two hemispheres, before and after the Catastrophe. To the left of the line, there remains the mysterious, mystical, shrouded in romantic myths like Atlantis, Jewish world – “Yiddishland,” buried under the waves of totalitarianism.

“To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric.” These words are fathered on the German thinker Theodor Adorno. Although in fact, he never said them. As though denying this statement, the Jewish people proved that after the Holocaust, not only writing poetry is possible, but also a full-fledged national revival and the creation of their own state. You can learn about it and the role of Jews and Jewish communities in the life of post-war Ukraine and the world in this hall of the Museum.
