At the opening ceremony of the exhibition, a discussion was held about the rescue of Polish and Hungarian Jews living in rural areas.

Anna Stróz, acting director of the Museum of Poles Saving Jews in World War II, gave a presentation about a museum in Markowa named after the Ulma Family, martyrs to the cause of saving Jews.

Jarosław Bajaczyk, vice-president of the Polish Institute in Budapest, who opened the exhibition, compared the Polin Museum in Warsaw and the Ulma Museum in Markowa.

He described the former as a huge museum with great financial investments and the latter as a small one employing only a few people.
