Eighty-one years ago, on the night of 2 to 3 August 1944, the Germans liquidated the so-called "family camp for Gypsies" (Zigeunerfamilienlager) in Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Approximately 4,300 individuals, including children, women, and men, who were the last Roma prisoners of the camp, were murdered in gas chambers

On the 81st anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum paid tribute to all those who, in August 1944, rose up in the fight for freedom and independence of occupied Poland.

'Memoria' is an online magazine dedicated to the history of Auschwitz, the Holocaust as well as memory and education around the world.

Holocaust denial is not just a lie. It is a tool of ideological hatred, spread today primarily through social media. Its aim is the systematic erasure of the truth about the greatest crime in the history of Europe. Thanks to the new “Stop Denial” tool, everyone can now easily take meaningful action to defend historical truth and the dignity of the victims of Auschwitz.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum partnered this month with the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Foundation (ABMF) to deliver a three-day educational seminar for American teachers, as part of the 2025 Auschwitz Legacy Fellowship. The program welcomed 43 high school educators from 13 U.S. states for an intensive, week-long study visit across Poland, culminating in a three-day seminar at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.

This year, the milestone of one million visitors was surpassed on July 9, a full month earlier than the previous year.
