“The American non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project purchased the house of the commandant of the German Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, Rudolf Höss, in the summer and will open it to visitors on January 27, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp, the New York Times reported. Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum Director Piotr Cywiński did not rule out cooperation with the new institution. The film "Zone of Interest," which tells the story of the Höss family, has led to strangers entering the property in Oświęcim, interested in the history of the house. This has prompted its resident, Grażyna Jurczak, to sell it. The sale of the house and the adjacent post-war building was finalized in October. The Counter Extremism Project and Ms. Jurczak have not disclosed the amount of the transaction, but - as the "NYT" wrote on Wednesday - it is about more than $120,000.”
