“The former Polish residence of the Nazi commandant at Auschwitz will soon open its doors to the public as a center dedicated to combatting antisemitism, extremism and hate... The property at 88 Legionow Street, dubbed “House 88,” served as the family home to Rudolph Höss, the orchestrator behind the gas chambers and crematorium at Auschwitz, where approximately one million Jews were sent to their deaths. The upscale villa, once famously referred to by Höss’ wife as a “paradise” with its lush gardens and a swimming pool, was recently purchased by New York-based charity the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), with the intention of transforming it into a space for research, education and advocacy.”
