Education

Staff members of the KL Plaszow Museum implement educational programs, including open thematic meetings (see the Events section), guided tours of the Memorial site for visitor groups, remote classes for school pupils, volunteering and educational projects.

The former KL Plaszow area can be visited individually, with a hired guide or as part of meetings organized by the Museum. The KL Plaszow Museum offers guided tours in Polish and English. Guided tours in other languages can be arranged in advance with our Educational Department (email: edukacja@plaszow.org). The Museum also offers liaison with city-licensed tourist guides qualified to show visitors around the Memory Trail.

Estimated sightseeing time, depending on the program selected, is 2 to 3 hours. To obtain detailed information about classes, organized activities and about their booking, please contact us at: edukacja@plaszow.org

Educational materials

The presentation is divided into two segments: Introduction (to be completed within one school period of 45 minutes) and KL Plaszow (two school periods). The contents of the materials address difficult topics, such as death, suffering and genocide, and therefore are recommended for secondary school students or senior primary school pupils. However, the final decision is up to educators.

The authors hope that the information provided in these educational materials will give the students knowledge of the history of KL Plaszow. The materials are also useful in organizing educational tours of the post-camp area, making its features and characteristics comprehensible to young visitors who attended lessons on the camp. Please send your comments and questions about the materials to: edukacja@plaszow.org.
