For the second year running, the Remembrance Museum of Land of Oświęcim Residents is pleased to publish its calendar with photographs taken from its ever-richer collections.
The calendar, which is in A3 format, contains photographs taken over 50 years of the 20th century and tells the story and history of inhabitants of this area.
We are pleased to present the calendar to friends and supporters of the Remembrance Museum as a gift under the Christmas tree! It is just one of the ways in which we would like to say thank you for your cooperation, fabulous initiatives and selfless help in our everyday work.
Beginning with January, the photographs show:
- Winter in Rajsko, 1950, (from the family archives of Ewa Stawowczyk)

Our very warm thanks to those of you who shared your family photographs with us and so helped us create this unique calendar!
