POLIN Museum's Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Campaign. POLIN Museum encourages
communities around the world to learn about the events that took place on
April 19th, 1943, and to share online what the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising means
to you. If you cannot be in Warsaw, by joining the online campaign, you
will be joining a countless number of people around the world, who will be
remembering the events of the Uprising. Participation is very simple, and
there are several ways to commemorate. The simplest way is to make our
official daffodil, a take a selfie for your social media profiles and use
our hashtags: #RememberingTogether, #WarsawGhettoUprisingCampaign.
Attention educators!
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising campaign is a meaningful and engaging activity
that can be a part of your online curriculum. We invite you and your
