MINSK, 22 December (BelTA) – The National History Museum of Belarus will put on display restituted items of Jewish culture. The exhibition will open 28 December, BelTA learned from director of the museum Pavel Sapotko.
“We are working to restitute items that were part of our collection. We are in talks with Israel s museums over the return of some artifacts that belonged to our museum. In 1924, our establishment, which had been named the Belarusian State Museum until 1930, had a Jewish exposition. During the war, the exhibits were taken to Germany. Later, they somehow turned up in Israel, although they had our markings,” Pavel Sapotko noted.
