Karol Szurdak • Medicial Plants of Płaszów • Walk and workshop • HOIZ 2026

During a walk through the grounds of the former KL Plaszow in Kraków, ethnobotanist Karol Szurdak will speak about the types, properties, and uses of some of the plants growing there. Afterwards, as part of a dedicated workshop, participants will be invited to prepare medicinal macerates and herbal blends from these plants collaboratively. The event invites reflection on whether post-camp land marked by violence can become a source of healing power.
