Traces of Memory (Special Edition): Visit Auschwitz-Birkenau


Traces of Memory is a magazine of the Auschwitz - Auschwitz in Gedachtenis Foundation and is aimed at teachers who want to work on remembrance education in the classroom. Now the Auschwitz Foundation is releasing a special edition that focuses on Auschwitz-Birkenau.

An information brochure about the infamous Auschwitz camp serves a threefold purpose. Firstly, the Auschwitz Foundation offers a user-friendly answer to the increasing demand from interested parties who wish to visit Auschwitz in a serious way. They then want to provide the participants in their annual study trip with compact, yet fairly complete information. Finally, they noticed that there was a need for a concise, but professionally developed and updated manual for interested parties. The brochure is didactic in nature. She will help both the participant in the annual study trip and the individual visitor to Auschwitz to get a good, clear and complete picture of where he/she is.
