On 15 September, the Warsaw Rising Museum opened the exhibition “Warsaw Rising 1944” in Haren, Germany. The location is not accidental. Between 1945 and 1948, Haren was named Maczków and was a Polish town in the British occupation zone. Poles who, after the war, could not or did not want to return to their country settled there. Among them were also Warsaw insurgents — soldiers who only a few months earlier had fought for Warsaw and, after the surrender, had been sent to German POW camps.
Earthworks have begun, marking the start of the Warsaw Rising Museum expansion. This is an important step in the ongoing investment, which will result in a new building adjacent to the Museum. The new space will help the Museum better meet visitors’ needs and expand its exhibition, educational and cultural programme. Current works do not affect visitors’ traffic. The new space is scheduled to open in 2029.
