E-learning
A visit to the authentic Memorial Site is a unique educational experience. However, people who do not have the ability to visit the former concentration camp of Auschwitz now have the opportunity to become acquainted with its history through education conducted via the Internet. Whereas for those who have already visited the place, remote access to educational materials will help in deepening the knowledge gained during the visit. E-learning can also be used as an aid in preparing visitors to the Memorial Site.
Online lessons
Each lesson is an in-depth study of a specific topic in the history of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz. They can be used for independent work and expanding one's own knowledge, or as material for school work. In addition to historical information, the lessons include archival and contemporary photographs, historical documents, eyewitness accounts, and film excerpts.
