The Central Museum of Prisoners-of-War is the biggest POW museum in the world and the only institution of that kind in post-war Poland. The main strategic areas of the Museum include: war, crimes of the occupant, remembrance of heroes, and totalitarianisms. We will begin our work by establishing the foundations and then implementing the concept of an international network of POW museums under the auspices of the Central Museum of Prisoners-of-War. It is a great honor for me to contribute to the development of this institution, which is so crucial for the commemoration of the heroism, dignity, and martyrdom of soldiers in captivity.

The goal of the Central Museum of Prisoners-of-War is to present the fates of Polish soldiers held captive in German and Soviet POW camps, along with those interned in Romania, Hungary, and Switzerland. The Museum's activities include documentation, research, education, exhibitions, and publishing. The institution documents Nazi war crimes and cultivates the memory of their victims.
The Museum collection is among the most valuable of its kind in Poland.
