It was named the same as the present district of Bytom and has been operating since 1922. At the beginning of the 1920s, it reached the highest mining level in Upper Silesia. From August 1945, a labour camp consisting of six barracks operated there. Since 2015, it has been merged with Piekary Coal Mine under the name Bobrek-Piekary Coal Mine.
What happens when someone you love goes missing on a European border? There is still no European law that requires governments to identify the dead and notify their families. Over half the graves we found in our investigation were buried without a name. We present the stories of Europe’s border graves in three collections of 360 degree videos, taking us to border cemeteries in Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, and Poland.
