Conference in Oświęcim for teachers from Poland and Germany
A conference was organized from September 2-8 by the Bergen-Belsen Memorial and Political Education Center in Lower Saxony, Germany, the International Youth Meeting House, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oświęcim.
The conference was aimed at schoolteachers and teachers employed outside the school system in Poland and Germany. The goal was a broader historical and political perspective on Nazi Germany's occupation and genocide policies, and the definition of Polish and German perceptions of these policies. There was also discussion of experiences connected with the school exchange programs organized as a part of Polish-German cooperation.
