Vrba Wetzler Memorial A meeting with Fedor Gál and others participants of walking march from Oświęcim to Žilina, which is reconstruction of the escape of Rudolf Vrba and Alfréd Wetzler from concentration camp and has an ambition to become a tradition.

Seventy years ago, two Slovak Jews, who escaped from Oświęcim, came to Žilina after two-week march. They were one of a few who succeeded the escape. A year before end of the war they wrote a report about killing in concentration camps, unthinkable for a humanity until then. Fedor Gál, one from organizers of the march says that personal physical experience from 140-kilometers march will remind story of two heroes better than an article on the internet or a report in television. Come to listen to authentic experiences from first year Vrba Wetzler Memorial, when its participants will arrive this day to Žilina.

A lot of interesting reading related to the topic and interactive map of the escape or video-report from Oświęcim you can fin in the article Opísali zverstvá a zostali sklamaní, že Osvienčim nebombardovali on the portal SME.sk.
