On 25 August, the Museum in Bełżec hosted educators from France, who attended Summer University workshops, organised by the Parisian Mémorial de la Shoah.

During their few-days stay in Poland, they learned the history of the local Jewish community, visited the memorial sites and gained knowledge of contemporary historical research and actions undertaken in the educational and cultural areas.

During their visit to the Museum in Bełżec, the group got acquainted with the history of the camp and the symbolism of the monument. In the course of the second part of the meeting, which took place in Józefów near Biłgoraj, the participants learned about the history of extermination of Jews from Józefów, in particular about the mass execution of 13 July 1942 on the so-called Winiarczykowa Góra (Winiarczykowa Hill).
