#EXHIBITION
Changes in Warsaw captured on camera
John Vachon was an American photographer who worked for the government of the USA. He came to Poland three times: in 1946 to capture how the people had survived the apocalypse and would restore the city from ruins, in 1956 to observe the development of the communist city and in 1963 to catch a glimpse of a country behind the Iron Courtain. He portrayed the faces of random workers and stunning actresses, the damage done in the city during the WW II and the impressive silhouette of the Palace of Culture and Science which looked like a structure from outer space in the poor, destroyed city (rare colour photographs from that period!). See how this city had been changing a few decades ago!
Where: Dom Spotkań z Historią (History Meeting House), ul. Karowa 20
