“Zdzisław Lachur — painting”. Exhibition of works donated by the Jürgen Dawo Foundation to the Museum in Gliwice.

On October 28, 2026, Zdzisław Lachur's works, donated to the Museum in Gliwice by the Jürgen Dawo Foundation, will begin at the Memorial House of Upper Silesian Jews. The exhibition will present nearly twenty works, showing artistic reflection on the tragic experiences of the Second World War, human suffering and cruelty.

One of the most important and frequently taken up by the artist was the extermination of the Jewish community. This issue has found expression in such works as Inconceivable, Death of Parents and Children in the Ghetto. Lachur portrayed dramatic events through the prism of personal memories, using expressive lines and intense colors.

Zdzisław Lachur's work has been awarded many times in Poland and abroad. A certificate of international recognition for the artist is presented at the exhibition with the diploma of the medal awarded to him by the Yad Vashem Institute.

The exhibition is an opportunity to get to know the work of the artist, who through painting tackled the difficult themes of memory, destruction and human suffering.
