位于波兰奥古斯图夫的历史建筑Dom Turka即将向公众开放，成为奥古斯图夫围捕纪念馆。这座建筑曾见证1945年的悲惨事件，如今已被修复并改造为博物馆，以纪念 1945 年奥古斯图夫围捕大屠杀的遇难者——数百名波兰战士在此次事件中被苏联军队与秘密警察杀害。

The historic Dom Turka facility located in Augustow, Poland will soon open for the public as the House of Remembrance of the Augustow Roundup. The facility, a witness to the tragic events of 1945, has recently been restored and adapted for museum functions. The institution will commemorate victims of 1945 Augustow Roundup massacre, in which hundreds of Polish anti-communist fighters were killed by Soviet soldiers and secret police.

悲剧的见证者

A witness to tragic history

Dom Turka 建于1900年，位于波兰东部的奥古斯图夫镇。这座建筑承载着丰富却悲惨的历史，几十年来，它一直是苦难与压迫的象征。在战后黑暗岁月里，这里曾是苏联内务人民委员部（NKVD）的地方总部，之后又成为共产党时代的秘密警察办公室。因此，这座建筑成为该地区集体记忆的一部分。这段历史中最为惨痛的事件是 1945 年奥古斯图夫围捕大屠杀，苏联红军及 NKVD 逮捕并杀害了数百名波兰战士。这场大屠杀被认为是二战后对波兰民族最严重的犯罪。如今，借助全新的改造概念，这座历史遗址正在被赋予新的意义，成为奥古斯图夫围捕纪念馆，以缅怀波兰历史上最痛苦的篇章之一。

Dating back to 1900, the historic Dom Turka facility located in eastern Poland, in the town of Augustow, is a building with a rich yet tragic history, which for decades stood as a symbol of suffering and repression. Its role during the dark post-war years as the local headquarters of the Soviet NKVD and later the communist-era secret police office has made it an enduring part of the region’s collective memory. The most tragic event of this period was the 1945 Augustow Roundup massacre, in which hundreds of Polish anti-communist fighters were killed by the Soviet Red Army and NKVD secret police. The 1945 massacre is regarded as the worst crime against the Polish nation after World War II. Today, thanks to a new redevelopment concept, this historic site is gaining new significance as the House of Remembrance of the Augustow Roundup, a cultural institution dedicated to commemorating one of the most painful chapters in Polish history.

Dom Turka 建筑的博物馆化改造严格遵循历史保护原则，旨在创造一个令人沉思的纪念空间，让参观者更深入地了解奥古斯图夫围捕的受害者及其故事。创新的展览设计能够增强对这一历史背景的理解，使其更具感染力和教育意义。改造工程在保留建筑原貌的基础上，进行适度调整，以增强其作为博物馆的功能。室内设计经过精心规划，使其能够容纳现代化展览，同时保留原有的历史遗迹，如昔日囚室的痕迹与建筑细节。在项目实施过程中，这些遗迹还接受了详细的考古研究与修复。

The adaptation of Dom Turka facility for museum purposes has been carried out with full respect for its historical value. The primary design objective was to create a space of remembrance that tells the stories of the victims of the Augustow Roundup in an engaging and thought-provoking way. By utilizing innovative solutions, the museum provides a deeper understanding of the historical context. The redevelopment project preserves the original historic structure of the building, incorporating subtle modifications to enhance its functionality as a museum. The interiors have been carefully adapted to accommodate modern exhibitions while retaining authentic elements, such as traces of former cells and architectural details. These elements underwent detailed archaeological and research work during the project’s implementation.

奥古斯图夫围捕纪念馆的设计灵感来源于森林边缘——这一场所既曾是受害者的处决地，也是他们的藏身之所。这种象征性的设计体现了历史真相的隐藏与揭示。纪念馆的重要组成部分是奥古斯图夫围捕受害者纪念墙，墙上刻有近600名1945年遇害者的姓名，以此向受害者致以象征性的敬意。为了让这座纪念馆与其所在地形成紧密联系，设计师们在馆内预留了大量绿化空间，并在其中布置雕塑般的钢铁树木，象征着历史与记忆的交织。这片空间也向受害者的亲属开放，他们可以在逝者姓名旁献上鲜花或系上丝带，以寄托哀思。

The design concept of the memorial site for the victims of the Augustow Roundup was inspired by the forest’s edge – both a site of execution and a place of refuge. Symbolically, it reflects the duality of hiding and revealing the truth. An integral part of the House of Remembrance of the Augustow Roundup is the Augustow Roundup Victims Memorial Wall. This installation, inscribed with the names of nearly 600 people murdered in 1945, serves as a symbolic tribute to the victims. For the authors of the design, it was important to connect the project to the specific place of its location, which is why they dedicated a significant amount of space to greenery, which is meant to grow between sculpturally crafted steel trees. This place is open to individual memorials of the victims, allowing for the inclusion of, for example, a flower or ribbon next to the name of a loved one.

奥古斯图夫围捕纪念馆在设计时充分考虑了无障碍性，确保所有访客无论年龄、身体状况或特殊需求如何，都能顺利参观。建筑配备了坡道、电梯及清晰的标识，以方便残障人士通行。此外，展览还包括互动与多媒体设备，为视障人士提供特别适配的内容。作为包容性措施的一部分，博物馆将提供手语导览，并为自闭症人群量身定制参观体验，优化环境以适应不同感官需求。所有这些功能确保纪念馆成为一个真正开放的空间，让每个人都能参与其中，并深入理解历史。

The museum has been designed with accessibility and inclusivity in mind, ensuring that all visitors, regardless of age, ability, or individual needs, can fully experience it. Modern architectural solutions such as ramps, elevators, and appropriate signage facilitate easy movement for people with disabilities. Additionally, interactive and multimedia exhibits will be adapted for visually impaired visitors. As part of its inclusivity efforts, the museum will offer sign language support and specially tailored materials for persons on the autism spectrum, allowing for a comfortable visiting experience at an adjusted pace and environment. These features make the Museum of the Augustow Roundup a truly open space, enabling everyone to engage with and understand history.

Dom Turka 经过现代化改造与扩建后正式成为博物馆，这不仅是对历史的保护，更是对历史真相和民族认同的承诺。这座建筑不再只是苦难的象征，而成为一个向未来世代讲述历史 的场所。这一转变符合更广泛的 国家遗产保护及公共历史教育目标，让社会从过去汲取力量，共同塑造更美好的未来。

The opening of the museum in the modernized and expanded Dom Turka marks a step toward restoring the memory of the victims of the Augustow Roundup and paying them due tribute. The redevelopment of this historic building is not just an act of conservation but, above all, a testament to the commitment to historical truth and national identity. As a result, Dom Turka ceases to be merely a symbol of suffering – it becomes a place where history is retold with future generations in mind. This transformation aligns with broader efforts to preserve national heritage and build an informed society that draws strength from the past to shape a better future.
