"We thought that the Holocaust and Jewish resistance should be studied, that lessons could be learned from both.  So we established this house that would tell the younger generations and those who would come after us, what happened and how it happened, and how we must continue to live.”

(Yitzhak “Antek” Zuckerman, in an audiotaped interview, April 1970)

 

 


This exhibition contains photographs taken by Ariel Yannay in the forests near the murder sites and a dialogue between Yannay and Chavka Folman-Raban, who had reached Treblinka on a mission as liaison-courier of the Warsaw ghetto’s underground Zionist movement “Dror” to verify rumors about the extermination of Jews there. The exhibition deals with the meaning of the journey and the ability of photography to provide evidence and serve as a channel for memory.



Though the exhibition has been taken down, you can still take a peek at the satirical views of artist Erich Lichtblau-Leskly, a ghetto artist with an eye for humor, whose caricatures from within the Terezin (Theresienstadt) ghetto depict his fellow inmates and himself in scenes from their way of life.
The "Yizkor" Hall reveals the Archives of the Ghetto Fighters' House, upon whose existence the GFH museum's founders insisted in its early years.
This exhibition tells the stories of the founders of the Ghetto Fighters' Kibbutz (Lohamei Haghetaot) – as a community with shared biographical characteristics, and as a collection of individual accounts of their unique experiences
This renewed exhibition was inaugurated in October 2010 after two years of renovation, updating, and redesign. The displays concisely depict the industry that was the extermination of Europe’s Jews, presenting extraordinary testimonies and documentation, focusing on the Treblinka camp.

The concept of RESISTANCE is a complex one, given to different interpretations and assessments. To discuss the question of resistance is to embark on a path that leads us to challenge our view of the Jewish People’s past, and its future.
This exhibition, devoted to the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw ghetto, is to a great extent the heart of the Ghetto Fighters’ House museum, revealing the story of Warsaw’s ghetto, the armed uprising in the ghetto, and the personal story of Yitzhak (Antek) Zuckerman and Zivia Lubetkin.
This exhibition presents the broad historical context in telling the story of the rise and establishment of the Nazi regime in Germany, and the process by which Germany extended its control over Europe prior to and during the Second World War.
This exhibition presents the complex story of the Holocaust in the Netherlands: this small, densely populated country peopled by law-abiding citizens, among them a Jewish community that thrived for generations, until the axe fell…

The Hall of the Ghettos is located directly following the exhibit: “Nazi Germany Oppresses Countries and Nations.” It deals with the ways in which Nazi Germany subjugated the Jews in Europe, the process that reached its peak with the Final Solution.
This exhibition is an homage to the “Righteous Among the Nations,” those non-Jews who risked their own lives to save Jews. Their stories are offered as individual testimonies.
