The Museum of the History of Polish Jews will be

opened on April 19th 2013 commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising

The museum — which will open for a special one-day preview on April 19, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising — is a joint public-private project funded by the Polish government and philanthropic groups, including the Bay Area–based Koret Foundation and the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life & Culture. The two latter institutions together donated $16 million to the museum’s construction, by far the most of any private funders.
