Murcki Coal Mine

Silesia

The coal was mined on Murckowskie Hill as early as 1657. At that time, the coal was mined in opencast working. Underground mining started in 1796. First, it was called Błogosławieństwo Emanuela Coal Mine (Emanuelssegen), and the mine was created from the merger of the Książę-Maria Coal Mine and Boże Dary Coal Mine. In 1976, the Murcki Coal Mine (the name derives from the Silesian word "umurckany", meaning "dirty") was established there. Today, after merging with Staszic Coal Mine in 2010 and Wujek Coal Mine in 2021, it is part of the Staszic-Wujek Coal Mine and belongs to the Polish Mining Group.

Mom, tomorrow I’ll be in Europe

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.
