Pamiętamy is Polish for "we remember"
זוכים also can me "we remember" which is this context, but it can also me call to know or a command to know something. Saw this sign outside the Jewish Museum in Oświęcim (Muzeum żydowski w Oświęcimiu).
This is a sign for the Jewish Museum and Education center in Oświęcim.
Train station in Oświęcim. It says Oświęcim Miasto Pokoju (Oświęcim City of Peace). Here is more info on why Oświęcim jest Miasto Pokoju

One quote from the article is, "Today Oswiecim, a town of over 40,000 inhabitants, is the center of a number of peace initiatives, a meeting place for people of different nationalities, regardless of religion and belief, a place where new generations want to build a future without war and violence."
On International Holocaust Day January 27th, I went to a city named city of Peace. A city where much sadness happened (Aushwitz and Birkenau Concentration/Death Camps). Even though there was once sadness, there is hope for the now and future of Peace.
