Muzeum – Miejsce Pamięci Palmiry
The Muzeum – Miejsce Pamięci Palmiry is a memorial site in Kaliszki, Poland, dedicated to remembering mass executions carried out during the Second World War. The modern, straightforward building houses photographs, documents, personal objects from victims, and witness testimonies carefully arranged to tell the story of what happened in the nearby Palmiry area.
The site commemorates mass killings that took place between 1939 and 1944 in the Kampinos Forest, where over one thousand people lost their lives. The current museum building opened in 2011, replacing an older facility that had preserved memories for more than three decades.
The name Palmiry is tied to remembering those who suffered here during the Second World War, and visitors can find quiet memorial markers scattered across the grounds. These signs encourage reflection on the past and the importance of honoring those whose lives were lost.
The museum operates seasonally from early April through October and November through March, with visiting hours typically in the morning until late afternoon. The location near forest trails and open countryside makes it easy to explore on foot or by bicycle.
The museum offers free admission for all visitors, making it accessible to anyone wanting to engage with this history in a meaningful way. The proximity to the Kampinos Forest and the quiet surroundings create a unique setting where history and nature meet.
