Ireland Live: Anti-extremism centre opens in former house of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Hoss
“... It has since been acquired by the Counter Extremism Project, a non-government organisation that combats extremist groups by pressuring financial support networks, countering the narrative of extremists and their online recruitment, and advocating for stronger laws, policies and regulations around the world. Counter Extremism Project CEO Mark Wallace said the opening of the home to the public is his dream, and those of our colleagues, is that every visitor, every fellow, and every academic that visits the Auschwitz site will be inspired to take action to fight extremism wherever they come from.”
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.
