About the Ceremony

This ceremony explores the female experience at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Extermination Camp as expressed by women who were inmates there in 1944.

While there are many commonalities in the male-female prisoner experience at Auschwitz- from selection through the forced labor, there are also many aspects of the experience that were unique to women. This ceremony presents a glimpse into the female experience at Auschwitz through the words and feelings of women who survived.
This ceremony is designed for pupils in grades 9-12 (ages 15-18).
