A recent publication by T. Chrzanowski and M. Kornecki entitled „Sztuka Ziemi Krakowskiej” (“The Art of Cracow Land”) contained some inaccuracy on the role of Sławomir Odrzywoł ski, architect, in the reconstruction of the Post-Dominican complex at Auschwitz. The dates of the initiation and completion of the stage of works supervised by Odrzywoiski were 1894—1901 and not 1899—'1906 as wrongly stated in the book and because of that he was made responsible for an unfortunate reconstruction of the building carried out in the years of 1901—1906 after the design of Mario Cera din i, an Italian architect. The stage of works directed in fact by Odrzywoiski comprised a restoration of St Jack’s Chapel and church’s presbytery. It was characterized by an endeavour to base works on scientific methods of operation manifested by preceding the restoration with a stylistic analysis of the monument, examination of the condition and also by a scrupulous reintegration of details. The reconstruction carried out after Ceradini’s design, foreign to the traditions of the Palish Gothic, 'did not pay -respect to those -right principles. The biggest protest of the then conservators’ profession was aroused by a design of an enormous octagon — the base of the tower at a former western elevation which had been demolished to this end, as well as a decision to make an entrance in the eastern wall of the presbyteryplaying by then a function of the nave. Odrzywoiski declared himself strongly against those changes, both within a framework of legal regulations as well as through press discussions and personal interventions. Unfortunately — without any results.
