Fakty Oświęcim: Hate Speech Combating Centre Opens Only On January 27th
Body
“As we have already reported HERE, the building where Rudolf Höss, commandant of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, lived, was purchased by the American non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project (CEP). On January 27, 2025, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, the center officially named Auschwitz Research Centre on Hate, Radicalization and Extremism (ARCHER) will open its doors for one day primarily to Survivors, invited guests, and official delegations. "After this date, construction work will resume and visiting the house will not be possible. We consider making the house available on the anniversary of the liberation of the camp to be our duty and an expression of respect for the Survivors and all Victims of the Holocaust," wrote Jacek Purski, director of ARCHER, in an e-mail to Fakty Oświęcim.”

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.
