ʺBUNKER
OF MEMORY”
At the end of last year, we completed the first stage of our "Bunker of Memory" project at the Jewish cemetery in Oświęcim. Its aim is to commemorate the Jewish inhabitants of Oświęcim and to educate about the history and culture of Jewish inhabitants who have co-created our town for centuries.
Auschwitz Jewish Center
It includes an installation made of fragments of tombstones found in the cemetery, in the town itself and the surrounding villages, as well as a learning path explaining the meaning of basic grave symbols. An additional element is a map that allows you to locate selected historic tombstones. The preserved fragments of the tombstones were placed on the walls of a former Nazi German bunker, which was built during World War II on the site of a devastated cemetery.
In 2024 we will continue the project. We will provide more details soon. The photos present the effects of our work to date. We invite you to discover our shared history. We also encourage you to support us!
The collected funds will be used to maintain the cemetery and implement further projects: https://oshpitzin.pl/wesprzy-nas/
