Museo imprescindible en Varsovia. La exposición es moderna, interactiva y muy bien organizado. Recomiendo visitarlo con tiempo, al menos 2–3 horas.

Me encantó, tienen audio guía en español. Y no le tienes que estar tocando nada porque te va guiando y automáticamente te va describiendo. Es fácil de recorrerlo mínimo 2 horas tardas en recorrerlo. Se puede comprar boletos en la página de internet. Aprendí mucho sobre la historia de los judíos en Polonia, sus costumbres y tradiciones, así como porque fueron perseguidos y como se levantaron después del gueto.
