Thanks to cooperation with Auschwitz – Birkenau museum in Oświęcim, on the museum’s site under tab “Local partners” a link to our Foundation has been placed. It is the next step of our cooperation in common case, which main objective is to protect any and all leftovers of KL Auschwitz complex.
Numerous collection of genuine artifacts after KL Auschwitz-Birkenau, that the foundation possesses, is in need of conservator’s protection, as well as scientific description. The knowledge of Museum’s employees is essential in realization of forementioned processes, and it’s eventual outcome can help us widen our cognizance of this place, in frame of joint publishing efforts. One of the statute aims of our Foundation is also presenting the artifacts on exhibitions. That is why We are going to support the Auschwitz – Birkenau National Museum in this domain.
Another motivation for our future efforts is also the fact, that they meet understanding and acceptation all along the way. We have already received a lot of messages supporting our venture, among others from the beurau of Polish Culture Minister Mrs Małgorzata Omilanowska, represented by Director of National Heritage department, Mr Jacek Miller.
