The Sereď Holocaust
Museum was created on the site of the former labor and concentration camp in
Sereď, which represents an authentic location that is linked to the tragic era
of the solution of the Jewish question in Slovakia during World War II. The
museum exhibits period documents, photographs, and items related to the
persecution of Jews in Slovakia. One of the exhibited artifacts is a cattle
wagon used to deport Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp. The museum also
serves as a memorial to murdered Slovak Jews. Approximately 16,000 passed
through the camp in Sereď alone, most of whom perished during the Holocaust.
The card was sent from Sered, Slovakia by my dear friend and Director of the Holocaust Museum Sered, Dr. Martin Korcok with his official seal. Back in 2015, I had the honor of visiting this museum upon Dr. Martin's invitation, who introduced me to this part of history which has lessons for times to come.
