The film tells the story of the Museum's creation in 1947, as well as the challenges of the contemporary Memorial, which preserves the memory of the victims of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp, educates on the camp history of people from all over the world, and ensures that the authenticity of the former camp sites are preserved for decades.

"It is of extreme importance to us that the story of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in the film is recounted by people who devote a large portion of their time to the Memorial, i.e. the Museum staff. It is due to their contribution that we are considered one of the most important museums in the world," said Museum Director

Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński.
