Overview
Named after Warsaw Ghetto commander, Mordechai Anielewicz, this museum depicts Jewish history from the end of the 19th century to the 1948 War of Independence. Learn about life of the Jews in Eastern Europe (from which many of the kibbutzniks descended from) before the war, the holocaust and the heroic story of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising through historical photos, unique exhibits and a scale model of the Warsaw Ghetto.
View the reconstructed battlefield, obsolete weapons, trenches and listen to recorded explanations of the heavily outnumbered kibbutz fighters against 10,000 Egyptian soldiers in the 1948 War of Independence.
The kibbutz also offers kid friendly activities such as tractor or wagon rides, house of bees and learning about the process of milking cows.
