A sustainable, stable partnership in the memory book with German-Polish partners. A joint work with the memory book concept, which enables a multi-layered learning process with the biography work: - creates a stable historical awareness, - expands methodological skills for historical research, - strengthens emotional understanding, empathy and sensitivity, - motivates moral courage and action against any form of group-related misanthropy, - breaks down prejudices and identifies xenophobia and all forms of extremism, - Participation makes self-efficacy tangible and motivates further political commitment. Creation of high-quality learning materials in the form of a German-Polish traveling exhibition and the biographies in the form of memory sheets, - the idea of ​​work in public receives widespread attention.

a) Project management and digital project meetings: We first got to know each other in eight digital project meetings, then developed a common working level, agreed on common goals and project steps and implemented them together. b) Creating materials: we based the concept of the memory book. The Dachau research group was supported by the experts in Oswiecim. Biographies were selected from concentration camp prisoners who were in Auschwitz and Dachau. In collaboration with a W seminar at the Dachau high school, the research was implemented in a 1.5-year process. From this, the experts from Dachau and Oswiecim worked together to develop a bilingual traveling exhibition. c) Encounter and dissemination activities: In 2022, a study group from Dachau traveled to Oswiecim. In 2024, a study group from Oswiecim traveled to Dachau. The traveling exhibition was presented to the public in Dachau and Oswiecim. On the anniversary of the founding of the Dachau concentration camp, the biographies were presented to the public in a ceremonial act.

- a sustainable collaboration between IJBS in Oswiecim and Dachauer Forum. We are already planning further joint activities at the end of the project. - good contacts with partner organizations of the institutions - the Polish-German traveling exhibition with 15 banners each, which can also be shown at other locations in the future. - Eight biographies of concentration camp prisoners in the form of a memorial sheet in the memorial book for the concentration camp prisoners in Dachau and Auschwitz.
