PLONSK  NOW, YESTERDAY, TODAY

AND

THE IDEA OF THE DAVID  BEN  GURION  MUSEUM IN  PLONSK
Plonsk, home town of David Ben Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel, witnessed centuries of historical and cultural co-existence between Jews and Poles.The Town Council is currently promoting widespread cultural and educational activities for the residents - young and old. In order to preserve the local history this also includes that of its Jewish inhabitants. PLONSK is proud of its renowned off spring David Ben Gurion, who is considered one of the most remarkable statesmen in the 20th century. In the last few years, the Councils of Plonsk and Ramat- Negev  have been operating as “Twin Cities.” Together with the Ben Gurion Research Institute and the Ben Gurion Heritage Institute, they initiated a commemoration for David Ben Gurion by establishing a museum at his birthplace. The proposed museum plan to exhibit Ben Gurion’s roots and childhood in Plonsk and expose his unique personality, international prominence and unique contributions to the process of Nation-State building. The Museum will be established in the center of the City in a modern building which will reflect, by its unique powerful design, the personality of Ben Gurion. It is hope that the museum will be integrated into the educational and cultural programs of Plonsk and become a center of interest for Polish, Israelí and worldwide Jewish visitors
