The Krzyżowa Foundation takes part in the "Ways of Remembrance" project, under which young people from Poland, Germany and Russia are looking for the families of former concentration camps prisoners. It is a project carried out in cooperation with the Arolsen Archives, which possess the belongings of former prisoners (mostly from the concentration camps Neuengamme and Dachau), which the Allies secured on the areas of the former camps after 1945 and reached the Archives in the early 1960s.
Willing to help the Arolsen Archives, which set themselves the goal of handing over the personal items to the families of the victims, the young people through the Krzyżowa Foundation ask for help in finding relatives of former concentration camp prisoners.
During the Polish-German online youth exchange, which took place in Krzyżowa in February, the pupils from the Beruflichen Schule des Kreises Stormarn in Bad Oldesloe and I Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. A. Mickiewicza in Węgrów worked together in small binational groups and prepared graphics depicting objects and information about former prisoners, which they afterwards published in social media.
Anyone who has any information that would assist in finding the families of the following persons, please contact us.
