Education

A group of young people sitting at a table during educational workshops. The participants are jointly analyzing texts on sheets of paper.
Education conducted by the Museum and Memorial Site in Bełżec is based on the principles of the pedagogy of remembrance, drawing on the experience of the State Museum at Majdanek. The educational activities offered go beyond the mere transmission of historical knowledge—their aim is also to encourage participants to reflect on contemporary threats such as intolerance, exclusion, and cultural or religious prejudice.

Book workshops

An integral part of educational activities is experiencing an authentic memorial site, such as the former death camp in Bełżec. Contact with its material remains, artifacts, eyewitness accounts, and archival documents adds an emotional dimension to the learning process and makes it more engaging. It also allows for the development of historical imagination, enabling a better understanding of the motives and mechanisms that led to the tragedies and crimes of World War II.
