Exposition Adolfo Kaminsky au musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme
- A fascinating exhibition on an exceptional man.
- Adofo Kaminsky is a genius forger, thanks to whom hundreds of people have been saved.
- Involved in the Resistance at the age of seventeen, he became, thanks to his skills as a chemist, an expert in the production of false papers during the German occupation.
- For 30 years, he was a forger, providing post-war support to Algerian separatists, South American revolutionaries and Third World liberation movements, as well as opponents of the dictatorships of Spain, Portugal and Greece.
- After the war, passionate about photography, he took thousands of shots, in which he captured a world from the flea market of Saint-Ouen to the neon lights of Pigalle where workers, clandestine lovers, second-hand dealers, real or fake models, wandering bearded louse…
- The exhibition shows his life as a forger, some of his photographs and presents a fascinating report on a man of great humanity.
- FREE exhibition for all.
