About this app

The neighbourhood of Łambinowice (until 1945 Lamsdorf), presently the Site of National Remembrance in Łambinowice Opole Voivodeship), since the second half of XIX century, has been marked with tragic history. It was here, on the base of the Prussian, and later German, military training ground infrastructure, were organized prisoners of war camps to where were sent soldiers of many from many European countries (and the world). It had been happening since the Franco-Prussian War, through World War I until the years of 1939-1945, when, there was organized in Lamsdorf, one of the largest POW complexes for the anti-Nazi coalition soldiers. Immediately after the both world wars, immigration camps for civilians were organized here. Remains of the camp buildings and war cemeteries are the only material traces of the past. Substantive care of the place is provided by the Central Museum of
Prisoners of War.

The application provides for users an opportunity to get familiar with the place and museum. The main part of the app is made of maps with 50 marked stops which consist of contemporary pictures, source materials and short films, text and voice (audio) information in Polish and English. Moreover, the application offers visitors several thematic pathways of various lengths. Its interesting element are quizzes, which allow the user to check the knowledge acquired during the visit.

Each stop in the application has saved geographic coordinates, thanks to which the distance to neighboring stops is known. In addition to the online mode, the mobile guide can also work entirely offline - then an Internet connection is only required to download or update the content presented in the application. The program also supports scanning of QR codes which take the user to a specific stop in the application.
