Almost 7,000 people lived on 25 square kilometers. They were representatives of all social groups. They had different professions, beliefs, social, political and economic views. They were not going to wait passively for liberation. They wanted to act.
Woldenberg quickly became a place of rich cultural and scientific life. There were three theaters, several orchestras, radio, sports clubs, numerous science clubs, discussion clubs, and interest clubs. Letters also worked in the oflag - incl. Marian Brandys, Stefan Flukowski and Edward Fiszer.
In addition to all these legal activities, the conspiracy also flourished. The prisoners underwent secret military training, contact was made with the General Headquarters of the Home Army, and a secret journal was published. The radio monitoring hidden in the shelter under the camp canteen played an extremely important role in the camp.
Dramatic scenes were mixed with beautiful scenes in Woldenberg. In order for the memory of this extraordinary camp to survive, this museum was created. You will see here postage stamps of the camp post office, sculptures, manuscripts and typescripts, photos, diplomas, orders from the Polish and German camp commandants, IDs, theatrical masks, everyday items and many other original exhibits from that period.

The camp located a kilometer from Dobiegniew was a phenomenon that has been somewhat forgotten today. A pity, because he was an example of the extraordinary strength of the nation's spirit.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
