点评:The museum is a series of 18 rooms, with subdued lighting creating an appropriately somber atmosphere. Each room addresses a different topic from the war, in a broadly chronological order.
All theatres of WW2 are covered in the museum, but not equally, with the main focus on the war in Central Europe told from the Polish perspective. So, some key turning points in the conflict (e.g. Pearl Harbour and the Normandy landings), receive little attention. However, the museum does cover in some detail the appalling atrocities suffered by the Polish population at the hands of the Germans and Russians, which is both thought provoking and profoundly upsetting.
The audio guide is essential to fully appreciate what you are seeing, and exploring the whole museum took us nearly 4 hours, This requires considerable fortitude, as much of the content is relentlessly harrowing. If you need a break midway through (as we did) there are no refreshment facilities inside the museum itself. However, when asked, the staff at the entrance turnstile allowed us out to visit the cafe in the reception area, with a paper wrist band provided to allow readmission.
翻译:这座博物馆由18个展厅组成,柔和的灯光营造出恰如其分的沉肃氛围。每个展厅都以大致按时间顺序排列的方式,讲述与战争相关的不同主题。
博物馆涵盖了二战的所有战场,但着墨程度不一;重点是从波兰人的视角来讲述中欧地区的战事。因此,一些战争中的关键转折点(如珍珠港事件和诺曼底登陆)则鲜有提及。不过,这座博物馆较为详细地记述了波兰民众在德国人和俄罗斯人手中遭受的种种惨烈暴行,这些内容发人深省却又令人心碎。
要想充分理解所看到的内容,收听语音导览至关重要。我们花了近4个小时才逛完整个博物馆——这一过程需要极大的心理承受力,因为馆内的大部分内容都极其触目惊心。如果您中途需要休息一下(就像我们一样),博物馆内并没有任何餐饮设施。不过,经询问后,入口处的工作人员允许我们离开去接待区的咖啡馆,还给我们戴上了纸质手环以便重新入馆。
