A volunteer is someone who freely works for the Museum. This is a formal definition, but we believe that volunteering is based on sharing knowledge and skills, on mutual cooperation and assistance. If you are interested in the history of the KL Plaszow Memorial site and World War II, if you identify with the Museum’s mission, if you are willing to assume obligations and take on challenges, become a volunteer.

We expect volunteers to show openness, integrity and reliability. In return, we offer a working experience in a cultural institution in its initial operational phase, beginning with the exhibition arrangement process, and ending with a variety of educational and field projects. We also share our knowledge, and work in the spirit of partnership. We sign an agreement with every volunteer, modelled on the template displayed below the description of each project.
