"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".
The Auschwitz Museum has started a cooperation with TrollWall AI, a startup that specializes in the automatic moderation of hateful comments on social media, based on artificial intelligence models.
