1.THE HISTORY History teaches us that the camp at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Monowitz, was the main symbol of Nazi cruelty. Opened in 1940, in the spaces of an old barracks, was used to cram inside members of the resistance, political prisoners and Jews. In two years of its opening there were approximately 20,000 prisoners who were taken to forced labor in the 40 km2 in area and satellite centers where prisoners were exploited for agricultural work in the service of the regime. The entrance portal emblazoned the motto Arbeit macht frei (work makes you free) torn at the end of the field as a sign of new-found freedom. The inscription was what the prisoners saw just got off the trains on the platform at 800 meters from access to places for torture. This was recovered in 2005 and placed in the path of what today has become a place of memory, one of the museums of the Shoah. 2.THEME Auschwitz is now a town of about 40,000 inhabitants, a small suburb of the city where you can feel the traces of a sad past. It is undeniable that the memory associated to these places still images of the Nazi extermination. Not to mention the time has come to rid the place to be this unjust ballast. We therefore want to rethink a structure that is an ode to joy, a space in which favor the aggregation and conviviality among individuals. We want to celebrate their identity, give redemption to those who in ages even so far has seen its dignity broken. The MEMORIAL

CULTURAL CENTRE will be a meeting space in the heart of town, a center of reference on an urban scale. Inside, creative workshops, a theater and an auditorium will become important social incubators. Both know how much memory will be the basis of future generations. There cannot be culture without memory! 3.WHO CAN PARTECIPATE?
