This paper uses archaeological surveys from between 2016 and 2019 at the former German Nazi labour and concentration camp of Plaszow (KL Plaszow) in Kraków, Poland, as a starting point for a discussion on how archaeological theory and method can be used in interpreting and presenting material culture and landscape related to the Holocaust. In particular, it focuses on the open-air exhibition “KL Plaszow: A Site After, a Site Without”, which was organised by the museum at KL Plaszow, presenting it as a case study within the wider contexts of the museum’s activities and generational memory
