The Edith Stein Museum in Lubliniec

The Pro Memoria Edith Stein Museum in Lubliniec is an institution located on the upper floor of the Courant family house, the home of the grandparents of Saint Edith Stein, the patron saint of the city. Opened on February 28, 2009, the museum was consecrated by Bishop Jan Wieczorek. The exhibition is multimedia-based and focuses on the life of Edith Stein and her tragic fate during World War II in the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. The museum also presents her as the patron saint of Europe, emphasizing her significance in cultural and religious contexts. The facility includes an exhibition hall used for organizing temporary displays, further enriching its cultural offerings. An interesting fact is that the museum was visited by President Bronisław Komorowski on January 20, 2012. The museum operates year-round and is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with free admission, which helps promote knowledge about Edith Stein and her legacy. The institution not only reflects local history but also serves as an important site in the context of national memory and European cultural heritage.
