Body

"The American non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project acquired the house of the commandant of the German Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, Rudolf Hoess, in the summer. As reported by the New York Times, the property will be open to visitors on January 27, 2025, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp. The director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, Piotr Cywiński, does not rule out cooperation with the new institution. The film "Zero interest" about the Höss family attracted many people interested in the history of the house to the property in Oświęcim. This convinced its resident, Grażyna Jurczak, to sell it. The transaction, which amounted to over $120,000, was finalized in October.”
