"Since the liberation of Auschwitz in January 1945, the house, 88 Legionow Street, has been in the hands of a Polish family. However, last year it was acquired by the Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based non-governmental organization that has been working to combat extremism since 2014. "

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
