MUZEUM HISTORII ŻYDÓW POLSKICH
For one thousand years Poland has been a home to Jewish people.
Despite the unbearable experience of the Holocaust their existence continues and is being told at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
We learn about it through thousands of individual stories described in exhibitions, collections and Internet projects.
Storytelling helps people – Jews, non-Jews, Poles and non-Poles - to reconnect with this history and preserve it in their collective memory.
