We welcome you to join the 2026 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Campaign. This campaign is hosted yearly by POLIN Museum in Warsaw, Poland. This year we commemorate the 83nd anniversary of the Uprising, and will have many activities for people around the world to participate in.

How did Poles react to the Uprising in the ghetto? How was it commented on? What was the reaction of the eye witnesses-passers-by in the streets of Warsaw to the fighting taking place behind the ghetto wall? Read the article by prof. Barbara Engelking. The study comes from the guidebook of POLIN Museum’s temporary exhibition: “Around Us a Sea of Fire. The Fate of Jewish Civilians During the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”.
