New English language edition of "Oś" Monthly Magazine
When one looks at the table full of medical instruments (shown on cover), which were most likely used at Auschwitz, it is hard to control one’s emotions and imagination. Many questions arise immediately. How easy it is to change manmade implements to save lives into tools that inflict pain and dehumanize. That happens when a person is treated as an object to which everything can be done. That is how doctors performed experiments in Auschwitz. On the following pages, you will read about this extraordinary find.
For already twenty years, students from the Volkswagen vocational schools have come as volunteers to the Auschwitz Memorial Site. They learn about history while working at the Museum. You will read about this in an interview with Christoph Heubner, Vice President of the Foundation for the International Youth Meeting Center in Oświęcim. In addition, this month, Daria Varyvod writes about her experience of volunteering at the IYMC for a year.
We also draw your attention to an article summarizing the halfway point of the “Why Do We Need Tolerance?” project, conducted at the Jewish Center, and a text about the European Workshops held at the Center for Dialogue and Prayer by the Maximilian Kolbe Foundation from Germany.
On the second to last page, you will learn the history of the legendary “Ganobis’ cabinet.” Finally, on the last page you can view the photo report from this year’s anniversary commemoration of St. Maximilian Kolbe’s death, which was attended by almost two thousand faithful this year.
