In 2026, fifty groups of students from Baden-Württemberg will visit the Auschwitz Museum in an online format through the platform Auschwitz. In front of your eyes. A special agreement to this effect was signed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport of the German federal state and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
An English-Polish report summarizing the year 2025 at the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum has been published. In his introduction, Director Dr Piotr M. A. Cywiński devoted his remarks to the role of memory in today’s world.
Starting from January 22, visitors participating in guided study tours can access the former bathhouse building in section BIb of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp. This historic structure has been extensively conserved thanks to the financial support of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
On 27 January 2026, we will commemorate the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz. The event is held under the honorary patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki.
