We are pleased to announce that on April 8, 2026, the Director of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum, Dr. Katarzyna Person, and the Director of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Ronald Leopold, signed a cooperation agreement.
Our institutions will jointly develop content for educational programs, share experience in working on exhibitions in historic spaces, and address issues related to the use of new technologies in Holocaust museums. This newly initiated collaboration reflects a shared commitment to preserving memory and expanding access to reliable knowledge through educational, digital, and cultural projects.
The Anne Frank House Museum is one of the most important memorial sites dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. Located in a tenement house on Prinsengracht, where Anne Frank and her family hid during World War II, it was there that she wrote her famous diary—one of the most moving testimonies to life in hiding. Today, the museum serves a significant educational purpose, presenting Anne Frank's story, the realities of life in hiding, and the consequences of discrimination and persecution. It is also an important center for reflection on human rights, tolerance, and the importance of historical memory.
Implementation of the project "Renovation and expansion of the historic buildings of the former Bersohn and Bauman Children's Hospital at 60 Sienna Street/51 Śliska Street in Warsaw, along with their adaptation for exhibition and educational purposes, and the construction of a Media Library – part of the permanent exhibition of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum." The project is made possible thanks to funding from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment 2021-2027 (FEniKS) program. The amount of funding from the European Regional Development Fund is PLN 57,423,828.88. The total project value is PLN 323,879,688.83.
