MODERN VERSION OF THE EXHIBITION
Three large screens allow you to immerse yourself in the history of land and sea routes traversed by Poles - civilians and military - during World War II. We can follow their progress on an interactive globe, which is the heart of the exhibition. The interactive control panel allows you to select a region of the world and learn about the history and fate of Poles associated with it.
Immersive sound, also known as surround sound, is an audio technology that aims to provide the listener with the feeling of immersion in sound and create the illusion of being in a different sound environment, a different place in reality.
The new version has 9 colorful films and animations showing, among others: the fate of soldiers of the Polish army under the command of General Władysław Anders, about 500 colorized photographs, 30 accounts of historical witnesses and several dozen exhibits.
The animation also includes the extraordinary and individual story of scout Wanda Barbara Kociuba, which comes from her Diary from Siberia donated to the Institute of National Remembrance Archive. On February 10, 1940, the entire Kociub family was deported to the Arkhangelsk Oblast in the USSR. After signing the Sikorski-Maysky Agreement, evacuated from the inhumane land, they reached a safe haven in Isfahan, Iran. Wanda never returned to Poland - initially she went to Great Britain, and later she went to the United States with her entire family. In 1954, Wanda married Wiktor (Victor) Bik. She died on May 31, 2017.
