A JEWISH association says private donors to Warsaw’s renowned Jewish history museum have suspended their donations over the government’s failure to extend the term of its director.
A special commission in May approved Dariusz Stola for another five-year term, but Culture Minister Piotr Glinski has not yet officially reappointed him.
Mr Glinski recently claimed that this was because the director had refused to make the museum available for a conference related to the ruling far-right Law and Justice Party.
The Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews is jointly managed and funded by the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute of Poland, the city of Warsaw and the national government’s culture ministry.
The association’s head Piotr Wislicki says the museum is running smoothly under an acting director but stated that many donors have suspended their contributions due to concerns over its future.
