I would say it’s absolutely worth visiting if you are patient enough to read long paragraphs (available in English and Polish). I spent 2 hours in this museum.

The first half tells you a story about a Jewish family that in an attempt to save their lives had to leave their home in Poland and move further East towards Russia. Their journey to Israel moved me to tears because it involves a whole different aspect. How they prayed in secret, how they had to work for 8 hours in extremely cold temperatures, how they once were people who provided shelter to others and now they had no home. But I say we should never forget the pain experienced by them because these are cruelties against humanity and they should never ever happen again. It also includes the story of Polish people along with Poland’s Jewish people.

The second half of the museum depicts the lost heritage of the Jewish people that includes a number of things like destroyed synagogues, crematoriums of people who couldn’t be properly cremated and all of it that is scattered across half of Europe and Asia. Attached are some of the photographs that will give you a peep into the motive behind opening this museum.

There is a lot to read so you better start your day with this museum or reserve a separate day for it. Outside is a cafeteria where you can relax after all the reading, buy a novel or two.
