The programme began with a lecture by British historian Chris Webb, who presented the history of the SS-Sonderkommando Sobibor and shared the latest findings from his research. The meeting served as an important introduction to further educational activities, illustrating the mechanisms by which the German extermination camp operated.
On the same day, a stone dedicated to the Kropveld family, murdered on 9 April 1943 in the Sobibor extermination camp, was unveiled along the Alley of Remembrance. The youth visit concluded with a guided tour of the permanent exhibition, which introduced its narrative and concept. A key element was the connection between history and the memory of the victims through the presentation of artefacts discovered during archaeological work, as well as historical testimonies, photographs, and documents.
