Monument to the victims of the dextrin explosion

These echoes of the greatest disaster in Luboń's history. The four-story dextrin building was completely destroyed. 17 people died under the rubble, and 10 were injured.

The investigation began almost immediately. The prosecutor's office and the Security Service gave it the codename "Luboń." They weren't just looking for technical answers. In addition to evidence, they were also examining rumors and moods, and collecting comments from employees and residents. The suspicious state wanted to know everything—including what people were whispering among themselves. Various scenarios were explored, including the possibility that the tragedy was not, in fact, an accident.

The truth, however, turned out to be prosaic. And more terrifying than sabotage.

How it working

To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.

STEP 1

You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.

STEP 2

After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.

STEP 3

The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!

STEP 4

Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?
