The Museum gives a unique opportunity not only to discover the history of Jewish people in Warsaw and Poland (in Poland in 1939 there were over 3 million Jews, 9.14% of the total population). It also helps to understand the Jewish community, its culture, and migration patterns all over Europe.

What is available in English?

  • The whole website content.
  • The exhibition is bilingual – all the information and captions are both in Polish and English.
  • The museum staff (e.g. in the ticket office) speaks good English.
  • The audio guides are available in English, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Yiddish.
  • There is available an audio guide dedicated to families (children aged 6-12). Audio guides for families are available in Polish and English. The tour with audio guides for families is shorter, it lasts about 1 hour.
