The testimonies are available with translation into Polish Sign Language (PJM).

The classes are based on Braille excerpts from the diary of 16-year-old Jadwiga Ankiewicz, who kept her notes while imprisoned in KL Lublin. What was the camp like? How did the SS men and female guards treat the prisoners, and did they all behave in the same way? Did the prisoners work? Participants will find answers to these and other questions in the diary of a girl whose experiences will help them learn about the history of the camp at Majdanek. The aim of the meeting is also to foster empathy towards the victims of concentration camps and to improve skills in working with historical sources.
