In this deeply moving episode of Ordinary Heroes on hmTv, hosts Bernie Furshpan and Jolanta Zamecka are joined live from Poland by Paweł Sawicki, Deputy Spokesperson of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. Speaking directly from the historic site itself, Paweł offers a rare, first-hand perspective on preserving the world’s most powerful symbol of remembrance.
Together, they explore the origins of Auschwitz, its transformation from a single camp into a vast system of concentration and extermination camps, and the importance of preserving its authenticity for future generations. Paweł discusses the complexities of forced labor, the enduring fight against Holocaust denial, and the human responsibility to stand up against hatred in all its forms.
