Summary/Abstract: The principles of the post- war part of the Warsaw’s Museum of the History of Polish Jews as seen by one of its creators are as follows: Jews seen in relation to Poland; Jews in Poland, not only Polish Jews; the post-war history as a new chapter rather than a footnote; one narration emphasizing the need to choose a path; no value judgements regarding the path chosen; average Jews presented, not only the famous ones; presenting those who would like to be included in the story of Polish Jews; no stereotypes, be they negative or positive, as the point of departure; Jews among the power elite presented but no acceptance of the alleged Jewishness of the power; showing anti-Semitism, the focus on Jewish life.
