MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM
AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU FORMER GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP
Michel Azaria, vice-chairman of JEAA (the Judeo-Spanish at Auschwitz Association), visited the Museum. The JEAA has been engaged for some time in efforts to place a new plaque in the traditionnal language of Sephardic Jews at the Monument to the Victims of Auschwitz Concentration Camp.
The Museum plans to place the names of thousands of prisoners on its website in 2002. A data base covering people who were registered in the camp has been compiled on the basis of extant documentation. However, it will contain very scarce information on people who were murdered immediately after arrival, mainly in the gas chambers.
The War Victims' Association must surrender the Oświęcim gravel pit to the state treasury. The minister of internal affairs yesterday upheld the ruling made last August by the wojewoda of Małopolska Province.
The multimedia exhibition entitled La Memoria: pitture, immagini e versi per non dimenticare la Shoah (Memory: paintings, images and verses for not forgetting the Shoah) has opened at Villa Manzoni in Lecco/Italy on February 15, 2002.
More than 300 people, including the Polish prime minister, clergy, members of the diplomatic corps, and historians attended a gathering held at the Royal Castle in Warsaw to mark Professor Bartoszewski's eightieth birthday.
The computer section has finished work on the printout and statistical analyses generated from the data base created in 2000-2001 on the basis of the archival record books of the Block no. 20 camp hospital.
