Accompanying Educational Programme: Guided Tour

"The Track - The Logistics of Racial Mania"

The exhibition "The Track - The Logistics of Racial Mania" extends the view of the darkest chapter of German railway history in a unique manner. A tour of the ground floor of the Documentation Centre starts with information about the origins of National Socialist racial mania and continues right through to its consistent implementation, and to an installation of a track, symbolising the sites of millionfold murder, the former German extermination camps in Poland.

The guided tour links the topics of the "Nuremberg Racial Laws" of 1935 and the extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The discussions will deal with the historians' approach to remembering "From a Network of Death to a Network of Remembrance", but also with the exhibition's visual language expressed in a contemporary track installation.

The guided tour is available in English and Polish.
