Our Museum, incessantly, is running collection of mementos connected with the fates of POWs. This is a most vital part of our activity, since each new artefact enlarges the collection and broadens the research, educational and exhibiting possibilities.

The turn of years favours meetings within circles of families and friends, as well as ordering of old matters and planning of new ones. It may as well happen that current issues give way to those anchored in the past. After all, almost each of us keeps various mementos at home, often cherished as heritage of our nearest, items purchased or accidentally found. If, among them, there happen to be ones connected with the experience of captivity in World War 2, we would like to kindly ask you to consider giving them over to our Museum.

Gathering objects of museal value is one of the basic ways of caring for national heritage. Passing private mementos to enrich public collections allows preserving them in a solid documented context, preventing them from being dispersed or even destroyed. It also makes artefacts acquire the lasting character as representation of the past and facilitates access to them by those interested.

Be assured that the items, documents, photographs or recordings relating to POWs, which are donated to our Museum, are taken care of specialists who elaborate on them, secure them and – in case it is necessary – provide professional conservation. Thanks to it, they become part of the national resource that serves dissemination of knowledge on captivity.
