Jastrzębie Coal Mine

Silesia

The mine, which opened in 1962, was located partly in Jastrzębie Zdrój and partly in Mszana. In 1963, it was merged with the Moszczenica Coal Mine, creating a Jastrzębie-Moszczenica Coal Mine. It existed for three years. In 1966, the mines were separated, and their previous names were restored. In 1994, the mines were reconnected and incorporated into the Jas-Mos Coal Mine as Ruch Moszczenica Coal Mine. In 2000, Ruch Moszczenica Coal Mine ceased operations, and the currently operating Jas-Mos Coal Mine is part of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa.

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.
