Silenced voices from the Holocaust in the Warsaw Ghetto Museum: Kasia Person lecture
9 Dec 2025
The Warsaw Ghetto Museum is a historical museum in Warsaw currently under construction in the historic complex of the former Bersohn and Bauman Children’s Hospital. Set up in one of the most important surviving buildings of the Warsaw Ghetto, it will focus on the story of Europe’s largest ghetto and its inhabitants’ life and death. In order to tell their complete story, it will reach out to voices which we rarely hear: those of children, women, refugees and deportees, and other groups who were marginalised in the overall history of the ghetto. My lecture will discuss how we plan to achieve this and how the new Museum will fit in the memory landscape of today’s Warsaw.
