At the weekend of 30th May – 1st June 2014, a training seminar for Polish teachers called Terezín – The Place of Memory was held. Less than thirty teachers from different parts of Poland attended the three-day programme focused mainly on increasing knowledge about the Terezin ghetto and the Gestapo police prison in the Small Fortress (lectures, tours, meeting with an eyewitness). Other sub-themes of lectures and workshops were the image of former ghetto in the postwar Czechoslovak film production as well as understanding the role and development of the Terezín Memorial from its inception to the present day.
The seminar could be held due to the excellent partner relationships between the Terezín Memorial and the State Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau together with the Polish Institute of National Remembrance; the seminar is part of the intensive cooperation of these educational institutions.
