Silesia

In 2005, it was merged with Wujek Coal Mine. Today it operates as part of the Staszic-Wujek Coal Mine. Since its launch in 1964, it has not changed its name. The highest employment in history was achieved in 1988 when 8500 people worked there. In 1978, Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz became an honorary miner of Staszic 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.
