The Museum

The Museum of the History of Polish Jews will open in 2012 on the site of the former Warsaw Ghetto. This multimedia narrative museum and cultural center will present the history of Polish Jews and the rich civilization they created over the course of almost 1000 years. Initiated by the Jewish Historical Institute Association in Warsaw in 1996, the Museum of the History of Polish Jews will be a unique institution. Not only is it the first and only museum to focus on the history of Polish Jews, but also it is a truly 21rst-century institution in every regard.

Using the latest historical research and most innovative exhibition design, the museum will immerse visitors in the world of Polish Jews and encourage exploration through a wide range of media, documents, and artifacts. As a cultural and educational center, the Museum will provide a unique learning environment, lively public programs, and singular meeting place for a diverse public.

Nearly five hundred individuals from all the Jewish organizations in Poland, Polish Jews and their descendants from around the world, and Polish friends who have for years been supporting the creation and development of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, met for the very first time in order to celebrate the inauguration of the Museum's new building.

On April 14, an event that can without exaggeration be deemed historical took place at 6 Anielewicza St. Members of Jewish associations, foundations and religious unions from all over Poland along with their friends assembled under the roof of the newly opened Museum of the History of Polish Jews.

Nearly 15 years since the idea of creating the Museum first appeared, and six years since the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction, the chairman of the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute of Poland, Piotr Wiślicki, was finally able to organize this first meeting inside the new Museum building – a symbol of renascent Jewish life and a place where the descendants of Polish Jews should feel at home.

On this occasion, a mezuzah was also affixed at the entrance to the Museum. Its design had been chosen from over 90 projects in an international competition. It is a work by Andrzej and Maciej Bulanda, who decided to use an original material – a brick from Warsaw's pre-war Northern Distict, a place once inhabited mainly by Jews. Their inspiration came from the Warsaw Ghetto Diaries of Hillel Seidman, who writes that after the war Jews from all over the world longed to return to what had been the center of the Jewish world, the corner of Gęsia and Nalewki.

This wish can now come true. We would like the Museum to be a place that joins, instead of dividing, and where the history of Polish Jews is not only popularized, but made. We would also like the Museum to be a platform for Jewish life as well as a partner to all types of educational, social, cultural and artistic initiatives.

The guests visited the Museum's workshop rooms, temporary exhibition hall, 480-seat auditorium and media club. They also viewed the first ready element of the Core Exhibition – the replica roof of the Gwoździec synagogue.

The Sunday meeting was perhaps the first event in recent history to have brought together so many Polish Jews from such a wide variety of organizations, proving that the Museum of the History of Polish Jews is not the end of a certain road, but only its beginning.
