Educational material

• temporary exhibition Places of Enslavement in the Occupied Poznań 1939 – 1945 (Miejsca zniewolenia w okupowanym Poznaniu 1939–1945)

The exhibition Places of Enslavement in the Occupied Poznań has an educational function and is addressed to middle and secondary school children. It presents places – objects related to the tragic history of residents of the occupied Poznań. Today, the places have a completely different purpose and many of them have remained till our times in an altered form. The exhibition is a “memorial” to those who lost their lives, were forced to leave their homes, work, factories – loosing the basis for existence. The material collected on the display forms a broader background for teachers and history, Polish language or ethics classes, form periods or social studies. For the first time the exhibition was held in the Museum in 2007. It consists of 14 double-faced easy-to-mount banners and brochures under the same title. Teachers interested in the exhibition can borrow it and display it in their schools.

Educational and historical film Enslaved Poznań 1939 – 1945 (Zniewolony Poznań 1939 – 1945)

The film Enslaved Poznań 1939 – 1945 shows witnesses of time – former prisoners – as they describe the dramatic events which took place in Poznań during the Nazi occupation. Owing to the fictionalized scenes, we are transferred to the casemates of Fort VII and the wooden barracks of the Żabikowo camp filled with prisoners. We can also observe the terrifying moments of interrogation in the Gestapo headquarters in Poznań...

 

 

 

A documentary Stadium (Stadion)

The screenplay of the documentary Stadium is based on a short story The Way to the Stadium (Droga na Stadion) by Wojciech Sławiński. It is a moving history of a young couple who fall in love during the Second World War. Like hundreds and thousands of Jews from the Reichsgau Wartheland, Abram and Deborah are deported by the Nazis to ghettos and then to forced labour camps. In May, 1941, the City Stadium in Poznań becomes one of those places.
