The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto is hosting the first Canadian presentation of the exhibition "Auschwitz. Not So Long Ago. Not So Far Away," created by the Museum and the Spanish company Musealia.

In 2024, over 1.83 million people visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum. Compared to 2023, this is an almost ten percent increase. However, attendance has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels, influenced by factors such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East.

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

Over forty countries now support the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation's Perpetual Fund, which ensures the preservation of the authenticity of the remains of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz.

Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, the Director of the Auschwitz Museum, received the St. Grigol Peradze Award. It was presented during the 21st International Caucasian Conference “Caucasica Antiqua et Christiana” dedicated to St. Grigol Peradze, which took place at the Warsaw University on December 6.

Unique memorabilia and documents related to an Auschwitz Survivor Walentyna Konopska were donated to the Museum's Collections and Archives. These include an album and a portrait made in the Auschwitz II-Birkenau, as well as letters and postcards sent from the camp.
