Bianet: Nazi House In Auschwitz Becomes Centre For Combating Hatred

Body

“Nazi house number 88 in Oswiecim, Poland, just outside the barbed wire of Auschwitz and the inspiration for the film The Zone of Interest , is opening to visitors for the first time in 80 years. This building, where Rudolf Höss, the commandant of the Nazi camp, lived with his family, will now house studies on hatred and radicalization. While Höss created a heavenly life for his family in this house, he was organizing mass murders right next door. The former owner of the house, Maria Jurczak, told the New York Times that she decided to sell the property because it had become a burden on her and her family. The Counter Extremism Project purchased the house and began the process of returning it to society. Counter Extremism Project (CEP) is a non-governmental organization that works to investigate radicalism and ideologies of hate, combat such threats, and raise public awareness.”
