The morning began with a trip to the
Jewish Historical Institute which focuses on the study of the history and culture of Polish Jews. It is the largest depository of Jewish-related archival documents,books, journals, ritual and art objects. After lunch we enjoyed a luncheon in honor of our group at the lovely residence of Ambassador and Mrs. Lee Feinstein. Invited guests included members of the Polish government as well as professors and lecturers at the University. The remainder of the day was spent at the
Warsaw Uprising Museum. The museum is dedicated to the
Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The museum collects and maintains hundreds of artifacts. The goals of the museum include the creation of an archive of historical information on the Uprising and the recording of the stories and memories of the still living Uprising participants.
