Memorabilia donated to the POLIN Museum collection by Janina Goldhar (b. 1929) tell the story of the emigration of a family of Polish Jews forced to leave the country in the wake of rising anti-Semitic sentiment, which culminated in March 1968 (https://sztetl.org.pl/pl/slownik/marzec-1968-w-polsce). At the time when the campaign against citizens of Jewish origin began in Poland, Janina was an Associate Professor at the Medical Academy in Warsaw. Her husband, Jerzy Goldhar, was an electrical engineer in a design office. The couple had two daughters: the then 14-year-old Ewa and 16-year-old Hanna. The donor recalls that despite good relations at work, in March 1968 she 'became air': “I don't remember whether it started right away after the eighth of March or some two weeks later. I suddenly felt that I had become air. [The manager] stopped asking, stopped calling and actually when it came to colleagues at work, with whom I never had any particular problems, I also felt that they felt somehow not very comfortable to contact me, so I was doing my job, but I felt that something changed.” Other family members also faced similar experiences. Ewa, as president of the school council, was extremely active. In March '68, she was suddenly no longer entrusted with the tasks of her post. Ewa also became air. Unable to see the possibility of continuing to live in a country where Jewish ancestry became a reason for exclusion and even repression, the family decided to emigrate to Israel. The organisation of this one-way trip required the completion of numerous formalities. The documents that had to be filled in involved renouncing Polish citizenship and declaring Jewish nationality. For Janina, who was brought up in an assimilated family, such a declaration came not without difficulty. Years after the events, she recalls that while in Poland, due to the trauma of the occupation and the experience of 1968, she constantly remembered that she was Jewish, in Israel she had rid herself of this stigma. “Here? I don't remember that I am Jewish.” Looking at the documents donated to the Museum in the context of the donor's account makes it possible to understand the reasons behind the decision to leave and to imagine the circumstances surrounding the emigration.
