included
MEMO4345 is a multimedia historical-educational path where visitors, guided to knowledge and reflection on the essentials of the Shoah in Europe, can learn more about the story of the 357 Jews deported to Auschwitz from the concentration camp in Borgo San Dalmazzo between September 1943 and February 1944.

MEMO4345 is a multimedia historical-educational path where visitors, guided to knowledge and reflection on the essential elements of the Shoah in Europe, can learn more about the story of the 357 Jews (334 foreigners, 23 Italians) deported to Auschwitz from the concentration camp active in the city between September 1943 and February 1944. The exhibition is located inside the former St. Anne's Church, next to the Deportation Memorial built in 2006 as part of the Interreg project "The Memory of the Alps", a few steps away from the railway station from which the convoys to the Nazi extermination camps departed.

MEMO4345 is a space for learning, understanding, remembering and questioning. Between 8 September 1943 and the Liberation, the European history of anti-Jewish persecution in the first half of the twentieth century passed through Borgo San Dalmazzo and the valleys that flow into it, in the form of people whose lives involved the lives of the inhabitants of these places. Visitors find answers to the questions they ask themselves, after stopping at the Deportation Memorial, about what happened here and are guided to knowledge and reflection on the essential elements of the Shoah in Europe.

MEMO4345 is an encounter with the people of then, but also of today, a story of journeys on earth and into the human soul. In the continuity of the chronological span, the years 1870 to 1945, in which the tragedy of the Shoah was prepared and consummated, and the years 1946 to 1920, in which we find many of the ideologies of that time, are mirrored. In this correspondence the visitor is immersed and challenged.

MEMO4345 is an itinerary dedicated to the memory of the Jews who passed through here and aimed at those who feel a duty to know and remember the steps that led to the Shoah and the responsibility to oppose them wherever they occur.
