Together, they survived the camps of Birkenau, Ravensbr\u00fcck, and Rajska, and after the war, they attempted to create the first feature film in the history of cinema about a concentration camp. Their fates\u2014intertwined by their camp experiences and later separated by post-war history\u2014reveal not only personal drama, but also a broader political and cultural context.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Lecture by Dr. Joanna Ostrowska, author of the book <em>\u015alady. Historia pewnego archiwum <\/em> (published by Krytyka Polityczna), will allow us to reconstruct the untold story of Jakubowska and Schneider&#8217;s collaboration. The lecture will discuss how, under camp conditions, a film project was born, resulting in &#8220;<em>Ostatni etap<\/em>&#8221; \u2013 the first fictional testimony to the Holocaust in the history of cinema. Participants will learn about the biographies of both women\u2014one controversial, the other almost completely forgotten\u2014and find out what their lives were like together and separately, in Poland and Germany.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By whom?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Joanna Ostrowska \u2013 Doctor of Humanities in History, she also studied at the Institute of Audiovisual Arts at the Jagiellonian University, the Department of Jewish Studies at the Jagiellonian University, Gender Studies at the University of Warsaw, the Department of Hebrew Studies at the University of Warsaw, and the PWSFTviT in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. She is an academic lecturer, film critic, and playwright. She deals with issues related to sexual violence during World War II and the forgotten victims of Nazism. She is the author of the widely discussed book Przemilczane. Seksualna praca przymusowa w czasie II wojny \u015bwiatowej (The Silenced: Sexual Forced Labor During World War II) (2018), for which she received the Mauthausen-Memorial-Forschungspreis award, and Oni. Homoseksuali\u015bci w czasie II wojny \u015bwiatowej (They: Homosexuals During World War II) (2021), which won the Nike Readers&#8217; Award.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is it for?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The meeting is aimed at adults and young people interested in the history of cinema, World War II, the memory of the Holocaust, and the role of women in the creation of culture. It will be of particular interest to film history enthusiasts, researchers of memory culture, and those involved in camp-related topics and the social history of the 20th century. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is it worth it?<\/h2>\n\n<p>This event rediscovers a story that has remained in the shadows for decades. It shows how two women, one Polish and one German, elevated their camp experiences to the level of artistic and political testimony. It is also a reflection on memory, forgetting, and the significance of women in cultural history, as well as an opportunity for critical reflection on why some biographies remain in the spotlight while others fade into silence.  <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability<\/h3>\n\n<p>The Dialogue Center building is accessible for people with mobility impairments.
