Remembrance as a source of axiology.
(Auschwitz State Museum, Poland)
Since 2008, seminars and study visits for counselors and supervisory employees in penitentiaries
are organized. During the seminars, the counselors and employees who directly supervise the inmates
are prepared for future cooperation with the Museum, with respect to organization of educational
classes for inmates.
The second stage of the project encompasses classes with inmates. In cooperation with the counselors
and seminar participants, the Center organizes trips of inmates to the Memorial site, as well as lectures,
multimedia presentations and screening of films in penitentiaries. In the educational process
implemented in penitentiaries, teaching about what happened in Auschwitz, may serve not only as
transfer of knowledge about the history, but may also influence shaping
of proper moral and social stances and prevent manifestations of disdain and intolerance.
