Global Construction Review: Daniel Libeskind Chosen To Redevelop Auschwitz Commandant’s House As Research Centre
“... Archer will be located at the former home of Auschwitz Commandant Rudolf Höss, also known as House 88, in a project sponsored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Unesco, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) and the Auschwitz–Birkenau Museum. Rudolf Höss and House 88 were the subject of the Oscar-winning film The Zone of Interest, directed by Jonathan Glazer. The centre will house a permanent exhibition organized by Italian composer Francesco Lotoro, which contains a collection of music written in camps.”
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
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.
