"On Auschwitz" (57): Conservation at the Auschwitz Museum
The Auschwitz Memorial covers nearly 200 hectares of land and includes about 300 ruins and 155 buildings, but also a huge number of historical objects, primary traces of Victims of Auschwitz: shoes, suitcases, brushes, or kitchen utensils. Nel Jastrzębiowska and Andrzej Jastrzębiowski from the Conservation Laboratories of the Auschwitz Museum explain how these priceless items are preserved and talk about the philosophy of conservation of the Memorial today. =====We wish to thank Kate Weinraub, Greg Littlefield, and Mike Skagerlind, who recorded the voiceover for this podcast.
