La Razon: The House Of Nazi Rudolf Höss, The Protagonist Of "The Zone Of Interest", A New Tourist Attraction In Auschwitz
“… Last summer, Jurczak sold his home to the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), an NGO that has been fighting extremism since its creation in 2014, and has now decided to open the doors of this three-story house to the public. On January 27, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz , visitors will be able to visit the house that Commander Höss once lived in. The aim of this opening is to "create a global centre to fight extremism in the home of one of the worst extremists and anti-Semites who ever existed," explains Hans Jakob Schindler, director of the NGO. He points out that "while it is essential to never forget , that is not enough to prevent the hatred and anti-Semitism that are taking over our society today."”

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.
