To commemorate this year's liberation of the former Mauthausen concentration camp, we are conducting a ten-day trilateral youth exchange with approximately 40 participants from Berlin (Anna Freud High School), Zamość (II Liceum Ogólnokształcące im.Marii Konopnickiej w Zamościu, ul. Partyzantów 68, 22-400 Zamość), Steyr (Reformpädagogisches Oberstufenrealgymnasium Steyr), and Traun (Bundesrealgymnasium). We will meet on April 29th in Gallneukirchen, Upper Austria.
In line with our working methods, the youth exchange will include workshops, all focusing on the testimonies of victims and perpetrators of National Socialism: photography, theater, and dance. The results will be presented at the liberation ceremony at the Mauthausen Memorial on May 7. A visit to the Festival of Joy on Heldenplatz in Vienna on May 8 will conclude the youth exchange. The exchange
is supported by the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future, the Future Fund of the Republic of Austria, the Berlin Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family, and the Axel Springer Foundation. The German Mauthausen Committee East is a cooperation partner.
