a step to understanding jewish history a bit better

On Thursday me as well as my class took a trip to Warsaw. We had a pretty hectic schedule, but it all turned out to be okay and we had a great time. Firstly, we visited Powązki, which is a cementary for people who made great contribution for Poland. 

  There were a lot of people because 1st of November was around the corner. Here in Poland we don't really have anything like Halloween (but it's getting more and more popular I have to admit). Instead we visit graves of the loved ones that are not with us anymore.

Then we went to Polin - newly opened Museum of the History of Polish Jews. The building itself is really impressive. You can immediately tell that it was designed by a scandinavian designer. So neat and spacious.

The whole museum is devided into nine various parts. Every one of them is dedicated to a different aspect of Jewish history. Firstly, you go through a part called "Forest" - it tells a legend of the begining of Polish Jews.

 What I really like about this museum is its modernity. There are lots of interactive boards, games that help us to gain knowledge better.

The only con of this place in my opinion is that it has so many informations it's hard to remember everything.

Anyway, it was great to be able to go there and have opportunity to understand Jewish history and legacy a bit more. If you ever get a chance to visit this place - do it! You'll learn a lot.
