The Museum and Memorial in Sobibór commemorates the victims murdered in the German Nazi extermination camp between May 1942 and October 1943. Its operation was brought to a halt by a prisoner uprising, which was one of the most significant acts of Jewish resistance against the Holocaust. The Museum also continues the mission of survivors embodied in the words of the uprising co-leader Alexander Pechersky: “Those of you who survive should bear witness to this. Let the world know what happened here.”
