On May 14-15, a group of employees of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum went on a study visit to the Central Prisoners of War Museum in Łambinowice (Lambsdorf) and the Gross-Rosen Museum in Rogoźnica.
The purpose of the visit was to exchange experiences related to the presentation of difficult topics and education about the experience of war.
Both museums we visited address issues similar to those faced by the MGW: war, forced labor, and genocide. Like the MGW, they are museums—places of memory.
Through meetings with management and staff, we learned about the challenges facing the institutions and how to build narratives for the exhibitions presented. Each study visit provides an opportunity to hone the team's skills, compare existing solutions, and leverage the experience of institutions established over many years.
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.
