On 4 March 2015 in the St John's Centre in Gdansk, the ceremonial opening of the exhibition „Routes of Liberation. European Legacies of the Second World War” prepared by the Museum of the Second World War and its partners from Holland, Germany, France, and Great Britain took place.

Dużą część zbiorów Muzeum II Wojny Światowej stanowią militaria, elementy wyposażenia i umundurowania żołnierzy walczących na różnych frontach, a nawet pojazdy bojowe.

Our museum’s collection includes objects that once belonged to people exiled to the USSR during the Second World War. About 70 per cent of them were Poles, the remaining 30 per cent Belarusians and Ukrainians. The deportations began on 10 February 1940.
