The International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust has made available the Japanese version of the online lesson "Auschwitz – Concentration and Extermination Camp".

On 1 October in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister of Poland in Warsaw, the 14th Session of the International Committee of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation took place, with representatives from countries supporting the Foundation's efforts to preserve the Auschwitz Memorial Site. Besides matters related to the conservation of the Memorial, an important topic of discussion was the upcoming 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

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

During a seminar held between September 15-20, 2024, a group of staff and guides from the Auschwitz Museum delved into the history of Izieu, a small village in the mountains of southeastern France—a site of life, hope, and tragedy during World War II.

The International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust invites you to participate in the educational session "Sonderkommando Revolt," which will take place online on the Zoom platform on 7 October 2024. The webinar will be simultaneously translated into English.

Over 1.2 million people have already visited the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum in 2024; this year's numbers are expected to exceed 1.8 million. There is a great deal of interest in visiting the site of the former German Nazi concentration and extermination camp, leading many individuals to avail themselves of tour companies that provide guided visits to the Museum. Regrettably, there are cases of unethical practices that can endanger tourists in this context. Therefore, we want to reiterate the importance of being cautious when utilising unauthorised channels that sell entry passes to the Museum.
