Auschwitz (Oswiecim)

Agnieszka Sieradzka, an employee working since almost 10 years for the collection department of the Auschwitz memorial in one of the archives with personal belongings of the prisoners which were taken away by the Nazis or found later at the camp. Mrs. Sieradzka said about her work "We have to do our job professional and we have to keep an emotional distance to our work and this place. I could not switch of these emotions in the beginning at all. I am working with the art of the prisoners what was a symbol of hope for them. I wanted to work here and to pass those informations further for future generations."
