KCRA3: Auschwitz Commander's Home Open To The Public, Converted Into Center For Holocaust History
“In the outskirts of the city of Oświęcim, Poland, lies a home, adjacent to the site of one of the worst atrocities ever committed. The home is the former residence of the commander of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, Rudolph Höss. The house recently featured heavily in the movie "Zone of Interest," which told the story of the commander and his family and how sheltered they were from the atrocities being committed just yards away. The house, until this year, had always been in private hands. A U.S.-based group, the "Counter Extremism Project," has purchased it. Now, in conjunction with the Auschwitz Museum and UNESCO, they have created "The Auschwitz Center on Hate, Extremism and Radicalisation." The home is now open to the public for the first time.”
