One of 3 photographs created, just like the installation "Szukaliśmy w popiołach" (MPOLIN-M1382/1-17), by that author with the use of an archaeological object from the collection of the POLIN Museum. The photograph shows a glass lid that belonged to Jewish residents of Muranów, found during the construction of the museum. The photograph presents 1 of 3 shots of the object in the scenery of Muranów - the place of life and suffering of hundreds of thousands of Jews - against the background of Stawki Street, next to the wall of the former Umschlagplatz.
