The history of the Haberfeld family and their Steam Factory producing the finest vodkas and liqueurs is closely linked to Poland and Oświęcim. These are fates written in golden letters in the history of alcohol production in our country.

From 1804, when a steam vodka and liqueur factory was established, until the Second World War, the company grew rapidly to become one of the country's leading spirits producers. Its almost 140-year history was ended by the tragic time of occupation, which cast a shadow over the family's subsequent life and fate.

However, the brand was reactivated thanks to the personal commitment of Mirosław Ganobis, a friend of the Haberfeld family, a local community activist, and a passionate advocate of the history of Oświęcim. 

The museum, established on the former Vodka and Liquor Factory site, features exhibits that have returned to their original location. Items of factory equipment and private objects from the Haberfeld house, which was immediately adjacent to the factory. The collection includes original memorabilia such as crockery, porcelain, and glassware, as well as office furniture belonging to Haberfeld, which he had acquired in Vienna in 1937.

The exhibition also tells the story of one of the two most influential Jewish families in Oświęcim. A fate dramatically interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War and the murder of the then 5-year-old Franciszka Henryka Haberfeld in the Bełżec extermination camp.
