Body

“In January 2025, the house at 88 Legionów Street in Oświęcim (known as the "Hoess villa") was bought by the American non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project (CEP). According to the New York Times, the CEP lawyer revealed that the amount for which the "Hoess villa" was purchased was much higher than the market value of the house (valued at about PLN 500,000). The American organization plans to create a center here to combat hate and hate speech on the Internet and in public debate - ARCHER at House 88. Recently, the Counter Extremism Project announced that the educational center will be designed by Daniel Libeskind, an American architect of Polish-Jewish descent, author of such projects as the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the Imperial War Museum North in Trafford and the Złota 44 apartment building in Warsaw.”
