Calendar of events

Starting from October 9, the Auschwitz Museum hosts an exhibition of the Prussian Blue painting series by the artist Yishai Jusidman. This is the first large-scale contemporary art exhibition at the Museum. Nearly 50 works, which have not yet been displayed in Europe, are displayed in the rooms of Block 21 at the former Auschwitz I camp.

According to Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, Director of the Auschwitz Memorial, the vast cemetery that Auschwitz represents should not become a space for politics during the anniversary of its liberation. He stated in an interview with the Polish Press Agency (PAP) that without the voices of Survivors, the threat of politicisation would hang over the commemoration. He added that he would like political leaders to stand in silence during the ceremony.

'Memoria' is an online magazine dedicated to the history of Auschwitz, the Holocaust as well as memory and education around the world.

On 16 October the travelling exhibition 'Auschwitz. Not Long Ago. Not Far Away' created by the Museum and the Spanish company Musealia was opened in Cincinnati Museum Center located in the historical building of Union Terminal.

On 16 October, the ministers responsible for education in all German states took part in a special online tour of the Auschwitz Memorial through the platform “Auschwitz in Front of Your Eyes.”
