Brief report: Activity A1

Activity A1 took place from 11 to 15 October 2023 in Włodawa, Poland. The participants
were able to learn more about the history of National Socialism, the Holocaust and forced
labour in Poland. The relationship with the Polish partner region was strengthened.
The program for the participants included a memorial ceremony in Sobibor, visits to the new
museum in Sobibor and the synagogue museum in Włodawa, a conference on the Nazi
history of the region and a klezmer concert.
A1 was the first physical meeting on site in Poland. The Polish contributions to the exhibition
could be trialled. The content of the Polish materials was already clear: the focus was on
forced labour in the Sobibór extermination camp and the numerous transit camps. The
further training was adapted to the focus, so the exhibition on forced labour in Sobibór was
visited by the participants together with teachers and pupils from the local schools.
