Karolina Ozog works on Jewish historical sites at the Historical Museum of the City of Kraków. The Historical Museum of the City of Krakow is currently engaged in a large-scale project to commemorate the entire Plaszow site while maintaining free entry. In this presentation, Ms. Ozog will discuss how sound is being utilized in the development of the memorial site. She will explain how and why visitors to Plaszow will be invited to listen to auditory components that include historical music as well as ambient sounds related to the physical attributes of the site.
