De Standaard: House From 'The Zone Of Interest' Becomes Research Center Against Anti-Semitism
Body
“The former home of the Höss family next to Auschwitz will soon be open to visitors. It will become the new base of operations for the Counter Extremism Project (CEP). The research center will open on Monday, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Visitors will see photos of the Höss family, as well as diaries of the housekeeper and Rudolf Höss, who was forced to write down his experiences after the war to gain insight into his psyche. The Counter Extremism Project is a New York-based NGO that has been fighting extremism for ten years. They bought the home of a Polish family that had owned it since the liberation of Auschwitz. “The idea behind the project is to create something that doesn’t exist yet, and to fight extremism in the home of one of the worst extremists and anti-Semites that ever existed,” CEP director Hans Jakob Schindler told CNN. CEO Mark Wallace also stressed the importance of the center: “Since the Holocaust, we have been taught never to forget. Eighty years later, it is clear that ‘never forget’ is essential, but it is not enough to prevent the hatred and anti-Semitism that grips us today.””
