Mark Podwal: Kaddish for Dąbrowa

Kaddish for Dąbrowa is a series of works telling the story of the Jewish community of the city, and a nostalgic and sentimental journey to the world that no longer exists. The works are inspired by the history of Mark Podwal’s family. The ancestors of the artist come from Dąbrowa Białostocka, where, before the World War II, his mother, Dorota Epelbaum, lived in.
