MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM
AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU FORMER GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP
In 2023, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation (ABF) donated a record sum of PLN 27.5 million for conservation works to the Museum. The total support provided by ABF to date has reached nearly PLN 126 million, and the value of the Foundation's Endowment Fund in 2023 exceeded EUR 177 million.
The Council of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, at a meeting held online on 15 January, adopted a resolution referring to recent instances of instrumentalisation of the memory of the victims of Auschwitz in public debate.
In 2023, over 1.67 million people visited the Auschwitz Memorial. This is 41 percent more than the previous year, indicating a slow return to the situation before the global pandemic.
"Auschwitz in Front of Your Eyes" is an application through which millions of people from around the world will gain access to education conducted directly from the authentic Memorial Site. It allows an online guided tour of the former German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. Reservations can already be made through the visit.auschwitz.org system.
The new online bookstore of the Museum is now available at books.auschwitz.org. In addition to printed publications in many languages, ebooks are also available on the website.
Images from www.auschwitz.org may be used only in publications relating to the history of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau or the activities of the Auschwitz Memorial. Their use must not tarnish the good reputation of the victims of KL Auschwitz. Any interference in the integrity of the images – including cropping or graphic processing – is prohibited. The use of the images for commercial purposes requires the Museum’s approval and information about the publication.
