The International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust invites you to participate in the educational session "The Role of the Archive at the Memorial Site," dedicated to the collection, storage, accessibility, and preservation of archival materials related to the history of the German Nazi camp Auschwitz. The session will be held online via the Zoom platform on 11 September 2024, and will be simultaneously translated into English.

Due to enormous interest, for the first time in the history of the International Summer Academy organized by the International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust, the program was held in two formats – onsite and online.

"History, Memory and Responsibility" is the title of the English-language seminar for journalists at the Auschwitz Memorial. It will take place on 7-10 October 2024 (Oct 7 & 10 are the arrival and departure days).

The Volunteer Academy is a project of the International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust at the Auschwitz Museum, aimed at individuals interested in the history of the Auschwitz camp and volunteering in the Archive. This year's Academy will take place between 28 September – 5 October at the Auschwitz Museum. All sessions and meetings will be conducted in English.

80 years ago, some 4,300 children, women, and men - the last Roma prisoners in section BIIe - were murdered in the gas chambers of the German Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp. The so-called Zigeunerfamilienlager ("Gypsy family camp") was liquidated on the night of 2 - 3 August 1944.

80 years ago, on August 1, 1944, an armed uprising erupted in Warsaw. It lasted 63 days. Its history is inextricably linked with the history of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz, as reminded by a podcast published on this occasion from the series "On Auschwitz".
