Motl, Peysi the Cantor’s Son: exhibition of work by children from the I.L. Peretz School The Grodzka Gate – NN Theatre Centre partnered with Lublin’s Youth Culture House to prepare an exhibition of more than 30 drawings illustrating the Sholem Aleichem book Motl, Peysi the Cantor’s Son. The works were created before World War II by students from the I.L. Peretz School, a Yiddish-language secular Jewish institution in Lublin. The location of the exhibition was also significant: 11 Grodzka Street, the former site of a Jewish home for orphans and the elderly, which functioned in Lublin until 1942 and is now the home of the Youth Culture House.
