UNESCO: A decade of action against antisemitism
"To mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay recently travelled to Poland to take part in official commemorations. On site, she visited a new research centre on hate, extremism and radicalization being created by the Counter Extremism Project with support from UNESCO in the former house of Auschwitz commandant, Rudolf Höss."
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
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.
