Notice of Partial Unavailability of This Website

Redakcja / Editorial staff, 31 December 2026
We advise that, due to ongoing upgrading work, there may be temporary difficulties in accessing certain of our portal, including the complete unavailability of the English language version. POLIN Museum is making every effort to, as quickly as possible, restore full accessibility for our user. Below is detailed information on the most disruptive errors and anomalies that may currently occur while browsing our portal’s content.

  • Complete unavailability of the English language version of the portal: the main page of the website in the English language version (available: sprawiedliwi.org.pl/en or righteous.pl) displays an error message; users are unable to switch from Polish to English language version of the content.
  • Complete unavailability of selected functionalities: stories of rescue do not display the left column of the page containing metrics (biographical information about rescuers and those in hiding, e.g. dates and places of birth and death, dates of honouring with the title of Righteous Among the Nations, places where help was provided). This may result in an inability to find such content via the advanced search or via the alphabetical list of stories of rescue. Currently, existing metrics cannot be updated, new ones cannot be added – changes made to the database will not be displayed to users. Also completely unavailable are audio recordings of interview excerpts from the oral history collection, previously displayed in the right-hand column of the stories of rescue.
  • Partial unavailability of selected functionalities: photo galleries available in stories of rescue may not display all photos related to the story, despite the existence of files in the database. 
  • Incorrect descriptions of iconography: metadata (e.g., title and description of photos, authors and sources, dates and places of creation) may not match the corresponding graphic file. Some of the elements that make up a complete iconographic description may not display, despite the database being complete.
  • Incorrect functioning of personal lists: browsing the List of Stories of Rescue and the List of Righteous Among the Nations is possible using the pagination located at the bottom of these subpages; navigation using the alphabetical list (A-Z) is currently not possible – selecting a letter displays an error message.
  • Malfunctioning hyperlinks: use of the portal’s internal navigation may result in a “404” error message or a redirection of the user to the portal’s homepage. In such cases, we recommend searching for the content via the advanced search option available at the top of the page.
