On April 21, Masha Makarova from the Education Department of the WGM led a walk in Russian for refugees from Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the war, the Jewish Agency for Israel has been helping Jews from Ukraine evacuate from places where they are threatened, providing these people with temporary shelter and assisting them in leaving for Israel.
A group of such people, waiting to leave for Israel, is currently in Warsaw. They are seniors, women, and children from various cities in Ukraine. The ongoing war in their country, led by Russia, and the fact that they were forced to flee their homes and leave behind loved ones and friends is a difficult experience for them.
Yesterday, Masza Makarova from our Museum's Education Department showed them Warsaw's Old Town and spoke about its history and legends. Participants also had the opportunity to see other important sites in Warsaw during a coach tour, visit Ghetto Heroes Square, and hear the story of the uprising, the anniversary of which we recently celebrated.
