On January 27, 2025, we will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz. Due to the organization of the event and associated security requirements, there will be temporary traffic disruptions and restrictions on roads in Oświęcim and its vicinity.

The French translation of the book “Auschwitz. A Monograph on the Human” by Auschwitz Museum Director Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywinski has been published. It is the first - on a global scale - such an in-depth attempt to read into human emotions inside the camp.

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.
