AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU FORMER GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP
Friday was the 63rd anniversary of the first mass escape from Auschwitz. About 50 prisoners mutinied and made an escape bid, but only 9 reached freedom. Over 380 prisoners perished during the break and in the course of German reprisals.
The Canadian television network CTV has admitted broadcasting inaccurate and misleading information by using the terms “Polish ghetto” and “Polish camp at Treblinka.”
Can “Holocaust art,” like works by Auschwitz prisoners for instance, be shown outside the camp in a typical art gallery? Can it be understood outside the Auschwitz context?
After changes by the Minister of Culture to the Museum Statute, The International Center for Teaching about Auschwitz and the Holocaust formally came into existence on may 13, 2005.
Oświęcim mayor Janusz Marszałek blames the lack of a current local zoning plan for the failure to obtain a ruling covering the use of the land on which the Old Theater stands, including any construction there. The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oświęcim wants to locate the International Center for Teaching about Auschwitz and the Holocaust there.
