Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau
Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, Director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum
The Polish Mission Director arranged a meeting with the Director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński.
Marcin Chumiecki presented Dr. Cywiński with a limited edition book comprised of images Chumiecki created in 2007 during a night shoot at Auschwitz. The Director gave Chumiecki permission to return at dawn to shoot the second part of the photo series.
The meeting included the presentation of the history and holding of The Polish Mission and Orchard Lake Schools. The focus of the discussion was the World War II museums on campus and the 1 September 1939 Commemoration funded by the Michigan Humanities Council.
Ceil Wendt Jensen, grant writer and educator, outlined the curriculum she will develop and share with classroom teachers as part of the grant work. Chumiecki extended an invitation to visit the campus of Orchard Lake. It was accepted by Dr. Cywiński.
