We are obliged to remember
"The creation and operation of the Museum will be a worthy and proper place to preserve the full memory of the victims of KL Plaszow. With the creation of the Museum, the memory of the tragic past can become a warning and a lesson for future generations, so the human race never experiences an equally dramatic fate. The Memorial and Museum is a guarantee of the effectiveness of the activities carried out and an appropriate step in the spirit of full historical responsibility for our common history" - as we read in the justification of the resolution.
The Museum of Cracow, as the substantive supervisor, developed the scenario of the new Museum and Memorial and carried out archaeological research on the site of the camp. The Museum also conducts research and educational work in the area of knowledge and remembrance of the former camp; for many years it has been educating, recounting and commemorating the difficult period of World War II as part of the Memorial Route and its branches: Pomorska Street, Pod Orłem Pharmacy and Oskar Schindler's Enamel Factory.
The next stage, following the adoption of city council resolution on the creation of the Memorial and Museum, will be the signing of an agreement between the Minister of Culture and National Heritage and the Municipality of Krakow on co-managing the new cultural institution. The new institution is to start operating on 1 January 2021. The estimated time necessary to complete the works on the creation of the Memorial and Museum, including the permanent exhibition, is approximately five years.
