12th English language issue of Oś — the Auschwitz Memorial Magazine
Here is the 20th issue of the monthly Oś Oświęcim—People—History—Culture and the 12th translated into English. In this issue, we cover a far more important anniversary—at the end of November, the prominent graphic artist Paweł Warchoł celebrated a quarter century as a professional artist. We carry a report on the special gala held to mark the occasion at the International Youth Meeting Center.
We also recommend our interview with conservationist Rafał Pióro, the deputy director of the Auschwitz Museum. The questions were sent in by Internet from all over the world, using the Museum’s official page on the Facebook social networking site. It was a very interesting discussion, not at all confined to conservation. Nor is this the only interview you’ll find in Oś. On the Center for Dialogue and Prayer pages, we feature a talk with Mary O’Sullivan, a Sister of Mercy from Ireland who works there.
Aside from this, the 20th issue of Oś has an article on the many-layered relations between the Museum and the Town of Oświęcim, an account from the most recent session of the International Auschwitz Council, and an article by Julia Priedel on the memory of the Holocaust in Germany and the Ukraine as seen by foreign volunteers working in Oświęcim. On the last page, as usual, we print photographs. This time, they come from the Stations of the Cross at the site of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp.
Publication of the English edition of Oś is possible thanks to the support of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland
