Overview
The idea to create a Museum of the History of Polish Jews emerged at the Association of the Jewish Historical Institute and soon secured support both in Poland and abroad. Mission of the Museum is to recall and preserve the memory of the history of Polish Jews, contributing to the mutual understanding and respect amongst Poles and Jews as well as other societies of Europe and the world.

No matter how old you are, whatever your education, qualifications or experience, regardless of your hobbies and interests – you can always join our team of volunteers! If you like helping others, wish to develop your skills and meet many interesting people, this is by all means the right place for you.
POLIN Museum runs a professional advanced Volunteering Centre. We encourage high school students aged 14 and up, university students, adults and senior citizens to participate in the Centre’s multifarious activities.
How can you help us?
Our volunteers help us in many different areas, including:
- Cultural activities –not only culture enthusiasts but also skillful organisers may prove themselves useful here.. You can help us in the process of organising and carrying out events held at our Museum (lectures, debates, theatre performances, concerts, film screenings and open-air events). By cooperating with us on these tasks, you are always at the centre of the most important events.
- The Family Education Centre – those who love working with children will be particularly interested in cooperation in this area.

The offer of our Resource Centre is addressed to broad audiences – people who, while not specialising in the field, are eager to acquire in-depth knowledge of the history, culture, tradition as well as Jewish life in Poland today. The Centre also caters for the needs of those searching for their own roots.
