AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU FORMER GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP
The original diary, written during the war in occupied Warsaw by sixteen-year-old Anna Hinel, was given to the Museum Archives. The author perished in the Nazi German concentration camp and extermination camp of Auschwitz 70 years ago on 19 March 1943. She was 19 years old at the time.
The first number of the English language Auschwitz Studies has been published by the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. The Studies have been available for 55 years in Polish and — as Hefte von Auschwitz — in German. Auschwitz Studies will replace the German language version.
“Above the ashes” is the title of a temporary exhibition by the French author Alexandra Bellamy which to 10 March will be presented at Auschwitz Museum in the temporary exhibition hall in block 12.
“Memorial Sites and human rights education in the context of the experience of violence in the twentieth century Europe” is the title of a new educational project, which brings together the representatives of the three Memorial Sites located in Poland, Germany and in Russia: Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and Perm-36.
The exhibition "Forbidden Art," presenting 20 works of art made illegally, and at risk to the live, by prisoners of the German Nazi concentration camps, was opened in the Beth Sholom synagogue in Las Vegas.
