    This modern museum is an educational tribute and monument to the Polish people who died or risked death in Poland. There are many photographs and documents to examine with translations in both Polish, Hebrew and English. During the German occupation, most probably in late 1942, despite poverty and risk, the Ulmas gave shelter to eight Jews: Saul Goldman and his four sons and two daughters and a grand-daughter. On March 24, 1944, in the morning, five German gendarmes and several navy-blue policemen arrived in front of the house of the Ulmas. They were commanded by Lt. Eilert Dieken. They first shot the Jews, and next Józef and Wiktoria (who was in the seventh month of pregnancy). Then, Dieken decided to kill the 6 children. Within a few minutes, seventeen people lost their lives (including the baby whom Wiktoria started giving birth to at the moment of the execution) They were only one of many families who died or risked dying trying to hide Jews from the nearby ghetto from capture and murder. I recommend this exhibit highly.

    While a bit far from major cities in Poland, this museum was just recently opened to the public (April 2016). It is dedicated to the Polish citizens who rescued their Jewish neighbors of that region during the Nazi occupation of Poland during WW II. The musem named after Joseph and Viktoria Ulma who hidden a Jewish family in their home. They were cought and executed together with their seven children and and the Jewish family they were hiding. Incredible museum and deeply tuching experience. Definitely worth the drive. Located in Markowa, Poland were the Ulma family onced lived.

  • 5/5 Bartlomiej K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quite a new museum, designed by the same workshop as the Warsaw Uprising Museum. The reason why it is here is tragic - the whole Ulma family (parents and children) were murdered and for hiding Jews. (Original) Dość nowe muzeum, zaprojektowane przez tą samą pracownie co Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego. Powód, dlaczego właśnie tutaj się ono znajduje jest tragiczny - zamordowano cala rodzina Ulmów (rodzice i dziec)i za ukrywanie żydów.

    Nice little museum to visit and explore a family that risked their lives in saving Jews during the Holocaust. The place is well documented and contains lots and lots of details and artifacts of that terrible time. Really really fascinating place. The entrance was a bit tricky to find however. Highly recommend !

    First of it's kind. A great and well deserved tribute to those who sacrificed their own lives and lives of their young children to save their Jewish friend's.

  • 5/5 jackie b. 8 months ago on Google
    Told a sad story beautifully. It shows how the Nazis increased the pressure on neighbours so that it would be a great risk to your family to not blow the whistle. I left feeling sad, but i also know that whilst the atrocities should not be forgotten, you need also to remember t that some people helped others at great risk to themselves, shows that there is a reason to always be hopeful that good humans will outdo the worst amongst us.

    (Translated by Google) A modern, small museum located in an architecturally interesting building.

(Original) Nowoczesne, nieduże muzeum umiejscowione w ciekawym architektonicznie budynu.

  • 4/5 Radosław 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is good that such places are created to remind us of the great sacrifice and death of thousands of Poles who saved Jews. It must be remembered that the peasants were mostly very poor and they often did not have anything to wear or cook themselves, yet they were able to share it, endangering their lives and their families. I'm afraid that not many people would be able to do that today (I don't know if I would be). The museum is new and well-kept, although a bit small. I lacked interactivity (a few small screens with movies is not enough) and original exhibits (also only a few). (Original) Dobrze, że powstają takie miejsca przypominające o wielkim poświęceniu oraz śmierci tysięcy Polaków ratujących Żydów. Trzeba pamiętać, że chłopi w większości byli bardzo biedni i sami często nie mieli co ubrać czy ugotować a jeszcze potrafili się tym podzielić, narażając życie swoje i rodziny. Obawiam się że dzisiaj niewielu byłoby do tego zdolnych (sam nie wiem czy bym był). Muzeum jest nowe i zadbane choc trochęza małe. Zabrakło mi interaktywności (kilka małych ekranów z filmami to za mało) oraz oryginalnych eksponatów (też tylko kilka).

    (Translated by Google) It is worth visiting the Ulma Museum to learn more about this family who sacrificed life to save others. An interesting exhibition and a house that gives an idea of ​​how small it was and yet found a place for others who have taken their roof. There is a beautiful memorial park around the museum and a memorial dedicated to the Ulma family. (Original) Warto odwiedzic Muzeum Ulmów aby dowiedzieć sie o wiecej o tej rodzinie ktora poswieciła życie dla ratowania innych. Ciekawa wystawa i dom ktory daje wyobrazenie o tym jak niewielkich rozmiarow był a mimo to znalezli miejsce dla innych ktorych przyjeli pod swoj dach. Wokół muzeum piekny park pamieci i pomnik poswiecony rodzinie Ulmów.
