Check out the latest on the construction and plans for this new museum in Warsaw. We will be travelling to Poland during the 70th year anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. While the full museum will likely not open until Fall 2013, there will be events in April to mark the April, 19-May, 16 1943 Uprising of Jews who fought against the deportations from the Ghetto. Volunteers in Warsaw will be handing out paper daffodils on city streets in the same way one of the Ghetto fighter leaders Marek Edelman used to lay daffodils at the Ghetto fighters memorial.
I hope that we will at least be able to see the new museum under construction during our visit and maybe even participate in one of the 70th anniversary events.
