A HOUSE TO LIVE
A PLACE TO LEARN

We are in the town of Oświęcim to remind about Auschwitz. To convince, that we must learn from the past. We show that Oświęcim can be a place of meetings, reconciliation, and understanding. We are in the town of Oświęcim so that Auschwitz will not be repeated.

"The First Auschwitz Trial in the Years 1963 to 1965: Criminal Trial and Mission to Deal with the Past"

lecture

On 19 April, Prof. Dr Joachim-Felix Leonhard, former State Secretary, gave a lecture entitled "The First Auschwitz Trial in the Years 1963 to 1965: Criminal Trial and Mission to Deal with the Past" at the IYMC. The audience in Oświęcim had the opportunity to experience Prof Leonhard's first-hand testimony from the Auschwitz trial. Afterwards, he answered the questions of the guests in detail, which consisted of trainees from Volkswagen AG, guides from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and participants of a study trip of the EVA Academy.

We would like to thank the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Krakow, which established contact with Prof. Leonhard and made this unique lecture possible.

The activities of the IYMC are financially supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.
