Conference and publication

At the meeting, not only were questions of content and organization discussed, but also the final products of the project. For one thing, a conference on the topic of Polish prisoners in the two Bavarian concentration camps is to be held at the Flossenbürg Memorial Site from March 27 to 29, 2019. Building on this conference, a German-Polish publication is set to appear in 2020.

At the same time, the staff of the Bavarian concentration camp memorial sites took part on June 14 in a commemoration of the 78th year of the first prisoner transport to Auschwitz concentration camp.
