Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Campaign 2021 - program of events
Commemorate the 78th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising with us. Join the Daffodils campaign organized by POLIN Museum - attach a yellow paper daffodil so that we are all #RememberingTogether, and watch the events streamed online.
This year we have decided to focus on the women ghetto fighters. We will retell their stories during a recorded guided tour "Wearing a Dress, Wearing a Uniform" and during a debate titled "If It Goes Off, I Will Go With It". Paweł Szamburski and Joanna Halszka Sokołowska will perform lullabies from Moshe Beregowski’s and Zalmen Mlotek’s collections. Krystyna Budnicka will share her story with us. All the events will be available online, so you can join us wherever you are!
