'Impressive! An excellently designed journey through the infamous and despicable history, capturing the atmosphere at the site of the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps. Arousing deep emotions resonating with sensitivity, forcing profound contemplation of what indifference, acquiescence, and even acceptance of racism, Nazism, discrimination, and the like may lead to. No one can remain apathetic after viewing or participating in this project. Let's hope for a plethora of projects and guidance like this. Excellent work!' reads the reflections.

'The project has garnered significant interest beyond the district of the Cracow Prison Service. - In response to a special request, the programme was implemented once at the Nysa Prison. In the forthcoming edition, several facilities subordinate to the Regional Inspectorate of the Prison Service in Opole will probably be included in the project,' - said Piotr SupiƄski.

The project has been implemented at the International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust since 2008. Initially, it was directed towards educators, supervisory staff, and inmates under the jurisdiction of the Regional Inspectorate of the Prison Service in Cracow. However, classes expanded to various regions in subsequent years, primarily in southern and central Poland. Today, the project "Auschwitz - History - Civic Education" is being implemented as part of study visits organised by the ICEAH, with officers from the Police, Prison Service and State Fire Service participating in the classes.
