I will survive! Accounts of the Polish Jews about World War II

The Second World War, which began with the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939, was the greatest catastrophe in Polish history. The country suffered enormous population and material losses as well as irreparable damages of cultural property. Poland emerged from the war with new borders, new political system and new demographic structure. The war heavily affected all residents of Poland, however it was Polish Jews who faced ruthless mass extermination.
Watch a film prepared by POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews for the occasion of 80th Anniversary of the Outbreak of World War II.
