Mon 1 Jan to Sun 8 Apr. This inspiring exhibition tells the extraordinary story of Janusz Korczak (1878-1942), a Polish-Jewish doctor, educator and children's author who devoted his life to establishing and defining the rights of the child.

Mon 1 Jan to Sun 4 Feb. It has become increasingly common to find Rembrandt described as a ‘Jewish’ artist. There are various factors accounting for this. For many years Rembrandt lived and worked in the heart of Amsterdam’s Jewish quarter; many of his paintings depict biblical scenes and he introduced written Hebrew words into some of his works. From the nineteenth century on a number of the characters he had painted were considered to be Jews. But is there any basis for such beliefs? This new exhibition titled The ‘Jewish’ Rembrandt assembles masterpieces from Rembrandt’s work, juxtaposing them with comparable works by other masters and interspersing them with documentary evidence and reproductions. In this way the Jewish Historical Museum sets out to unravel the mystery and e. Nieuwe Amstelstraat 1, Amsterdam, 1011. Joel Cahen, Director, 31 0 20 5 310 310.
