The Holocaust and archaeology on the example of excavations in Krasiński Garden in Warsaw
Jacek Konik
Abstract
The article deals with the archaeological exploration conducted in the autumn of 2021 in Krasiński Garden in Warsaw. The program of non-invasive exploration in the former ghetto area is the result of a join project of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum and the Christopher Newport University, Virginia, USA. The head of the research team was Prof. Richard Freund, the coordinator on the Polish side was Dr. Jacek Konik. The excavations in Krasiński Garden lasted 6 days only and were conducted in a limited area, nevertheless, the program will be continued, and the results of the research already prove that the archaeological exploration of the Warsaw Ghetto area is a research method that makes it possible to gather information relatively quickly, both about the "Jewish quarter" itself and about its inhabitants. The research method is especially promised due to fact that currently known photographic documentation of many areas of the ghetto is incomplete.
