On March 24, a group of students from High School No. 1 in Siedlce took part in the educational workshops based on Jadwiga Ankiewicz’s biography. She was a 17-year-old inmate at Majdanek. During her 4-month stay in KL Lublin, Jadwiga was keeping a journal, in which she was describing the reality in the camp in her own, subjective way. Fortunately, while having been discharged from the camp, she avoided a search and carried her diary away from the camp under the lining of her coat. In 1998, the original diary was handed over to the Archives of the State Museum at Majdanek by Jadwiga’s family.

During the first part of the workshops entitled “But a part of the heart remained there, at Majdanek – the camp reality in the Jadwiga Ankiewicz’s diary,” students were provided with information about the major groups of inmates and with Jadwiga Ankiewicz’s biography. Then, while reading a diary, they were to prepare such topics as: standards of living at the camp, work at the camp, groups of inmates, the overseers and the SS-men, the fight with depressing reality and the Holocaust. Jadwiga’s notes let the students look at the history of KL Lublinthrough the prism of their peer's memories. The last item of the agenda was the sightseeing of the museum’s area and exhibitions, in which students participated actively by sharing their newly acquired knowledge and impressions. The workshops ended with a common contemplation of the quotation from Jadwiga Ankiewicz’s diary: But a part of the heart remained there, at Majdanek.
