AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU FORMER GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP
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.
On victims.auschwitz.org, you can search for information about people deported to the German Nazi camp Auschwitz, as well as learn details about most transports to the camp. Currently, it contains data on 1,187 transports and 265,702 people, based on approximately 1 million document entries.
American teacher Theodore Kempinski has been appointed as the Honorary Consul of the Auschwitz Memorial in the United States. He will primarily support the activities undertaken by the Diplomacy of Remembrance of the Museum in the State of Massachusetts.
