AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU FORMER GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP
69 years ago, on 1 August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising began. On the anniversary of this event, promptly at 17.00 – the commencement of fighting by the insurgents at the "W" hour – the director of the Museum, Dr Piotr M.A. Cywiński, laid a wreath at the Death Wall and paid tribute to the heroes and victims of the Uprising — including the thousands of residents of the capital deported to Auschwitz.
We are pleased to announce the opening of the First International Summer Academy in German organized by the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, as part of educational programs organized at the International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust.
The Auschwitz Museum is the tenth museum in the world and the third in Europe according to the result of a ranking published by the tourism website TripAdvisor . This award is all the more important due to the fact that the reports of this portal are prepared on the basis of the opinion of Internet users and travellers.
