The Project
"The importance of Virtual Shtetl cannot be exaggerated; it is a pioneering and inspiring way forward for the teaching of this vital element in the long and vibrant story of the Jews of Poland"
"Surfing the portal of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, I realize that it is an exceptional tool and place for exchanging thoughts, ideas and experiences (…). The access to information and its distribution are no longer limited. Thanks to the Virtual Shtetl project, as well as easy Internet access, the youth, students and residents of even the smallest towns have an opportunity to discover and explore history unknown to them until present day."
"Virtual Shtetl is primarily a social community where mutual relations are initiated and strengthened. In the contemporary era of the developing Internet network, this community forms, above all, in the virtual space."
Albert Stankowski – Project Creator
About the project 
The "Virtual Shtetl" is devoted to the Jewish history of Poland. Currently, our portal is a source of information, but in the future it will also include an interactive system by which Internet users will interact with each other. It will create a link between Polish-Jewish history and the contemporary multicultural world.
The "Virtual Shtetl" is a museum without barriers, a consequent extension of the real Museum. Its main objective is to provide a unique social forum for everyone interested in Polish-Jewish life. The "Virtual Shtetl" re-tells the history of Polish Jews, which existed to a great extent in towns and villages (Yiddish: shtetl) more >>>
