	Our article concerns the Survivors’ Park in Łódź. It is located in the Litzmannstadt Ghetto area and is meant to commemorate people who had passed through it. We are interested in how the Survivors’ Park can be a site of memory. We try to show that the park plays such a role through the atmosphere it emanates. Referring to Gernot Böhme’s philosophy, we assume that atmospheres are not a condition of subjects, but are connected with the materiality of elements that make up a park, such as plants or buildings, and its moving contexts, such as other sites of memory or a district of a contemporary city. We also point out that in order to experience the Survivors’ Park as a memorial site, one should decide to travel through the Bałuty district of Łódź and the park area itself.
