Films for the Warsaw Ghetto Museum –
A Contemporary Approach to History

For over six months, our team has been working actively on the creation of 17 short documentary and educational films, which will be part of the main exhibition at the soon-to-be-opened Warsaw Ghetto Museum. This is a remarkable project that requires not only creativity but also a deep understanding and respect for the history we will be telling.

Our films address various aspects of life in the Warsaw Ghetto, presenting them in a comprehensive and multifaceted way. We are developing concepts and producing films dedicated to key topics that are crucial for understanding this tragic part of history.

Among the topics we explore are:

  • The Role of Women in the Ghetto – The film depicts the difficult daily life of women who struggled with the brutality of the occupation, while also highlighting the forced and accelerated emancipation of women in the Warsaw Ghetto.
  • Hospital Staff and Research on Starvation Disease – A film about the work of doctors and nurses in the ghetto, as well as their involvement in research on starvation disease, which affected many residents of the ghetto.
  • Jewish Social Self-Help – This film illustrates the activities of social organizations and the assistance provided under extremely difficult conditions, which gave hope for survival to the Jewish population in the Warsaw Ghetto.
  • The History of the Orphanage Where Janusz Korczak and Stefania Wilczyńska Worked – A film dedicated to the work of outstanding individuals who had an immeasurable impact on shaping innovative pedagogical and psychological concepts for their time and on the lives of children, including those in the ghetto.
  • Rafał Lemkin and the Definition of Genocide – A film about the work of Rafał Lemkin in developing the definition of genocide and its connections to the events of World War II, including the extermination of Jews in the ghettos.

Our goal is not only to present history but also to educate a wide audience. We want visitors to better understand the realities of life in the ghetto and grasp the mechanisms that led to this horrific event in human history. The films we are currently working on will be available to visitors of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum starting in the spring of 2027.

We are proud that our work will be part of this important project. The Warsaw Ghetto Museum will not only serve as a place to commemorate the past but also as a space for reflection and education. We eagerly await the moment when our films will be available to the public, contributing significantly to the creation of this unique place of memory.
