“... On the sidelines of this ceremony, the Director-General of UNESCO will visit the future Auschwitz Centre on Hatred, Extremism and Radicalization (ARCHER) created by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) under the patronage of UNESCO and in partnership with the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. This research and education centre will be established in the former home of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss. On the occasion of this important commemoration, UNESCO is publishing three new guides intended to help teachers and journalists better combat Holocaust denial, distortion and instrumentalization of historical facts related to the Holocaust, as well as contemporary forms of anti-Semitism.”

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.
