In 2006 Forum for Dialogue organized an art exhibit curated by Bogna Burska, Anka Grupińska and Alina Skibińska entitled Kozienickie portrety (“Kozienice Portraits”). The exhibition presented photographs made off of glass plate negatives discovered after the war originally created by Chaim Berman, a Jewish photographer from prewar Kozienice.
This unique collection presents Jews, Poles and Germans, who lived in the town before the war. It is also a testimony of the short-lived multicultural world that existed but was already marked by the impending end. In 1990s, this rare photograph collection found its way to Karta Center Foundation, who shared it for the exhibition.
The exhibition was shown at the Ethnographic Museum in Krakow during the Jewish Culture Festival, during the Four Cultures Festival in Lodz, and at the Regional Museum in Kozienice. The 47th issue of the Karta quarterly published two articles about the exhibition written by Alina Skibińska and Anka Grupińska.
