On September 1, 1939, the German Wehrmacht invaded Poland, marking the beginning of the Second World War. The themed tour is dedicated to the National Socialist occupation and the resistance in Poland. Using selected exhibits, it also tells the story of the reconstruction of Warsaw after the destruction of the city's urban and cultural heritage. It also deals with the difficult question of whose cultural heritage was regarded as national heritage in post-war Poland and how Jews, who were on the fringes of national narratives, had to protect their heritage themselves. The tour invites visitors to reflect on memory, blind spots and the politics of history in post-war Poland.
