On the occasion of this year’s Yom HaShoah, namely Holocaust Remembrance Day, we have prepared the online premiere of the documentary film, produced by Karolina Dzięciołowska and Joanna Król for POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in 2011. The film has not yet been available on the Internet.

Read stories of twenty eight individuals and organisations in the virtual exhibition “Righteous Without Borders – Acting for the Sake of Dignity and Human Rights” on the occasion of the World Refugee Day, established by the United Nations in 2000.

Due to the government’s decision related to the COVID-19 pandemic, from 5th May we invite you again to visit POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. We encourage you to see the new part of the core exhibition – the Legacy gallery, as well as the “Other ghettos” part, on the mezzanine of the Holocaust gallery.

On the occasion of the European Day of the Righteous, we have prepared a new section of the Polish Righteous website about Jewish self-help on the “Aryan side”. Read nine selected stories of rescue, as well as a historical study by Prof. Barbara Engelking.
