I miss you, Jew

11 July, 2010

The Polish artist Rafał Betlejewski creates controversy in Poland with his graffiti. He wants to draw attention to the tragic history of the jews in Poland with the graffiti that is very often uses for antisemitic purposes. It reminds of my friend Adam, who showed me around in his village Chrzanów, where he pointed towards all the gaps that you can still see in the cityplan, of places where there used to be a synagogue or Jewish houses.
