Warsaw Ghetto Museum, History museum in central Warsaw, Poland.
The Warsaw Ghetto Museum occupies the former Bersohn and Bauman Children's Hospital and displays exhibits about Jewish life during World War II. The building spreads across multiple floors with spaces for educational programs and rotating exhibitions.
The museum's history began in the late 1980s through Sigmund Nissenbaum's initiative and was officially established in 2018. Since then it has gathered objects and stories to preserve memory of that period.
The museum holds testimonies and photographs that show how people lived and worked in the ghetto during the war. These personal items and accounts reveal the everyday routines and relationships that existed even under occupation.
Plan enough time to walk through several floors and explore the different areas at your own pace. Starting with a floor plan helps you navigate and find both the main and rotating exhibitions.
Excavations at the museum site have uncovered thousands of original objects from the ghetto period. These finds form an important part of the collection and show what people left behind from that era.
